One company trying to address that is Up42, a subsidiary (hope that's the appropriate term) of Airbus, building some marketplace for SAT imaging analysis.

Interested to hear Mr. glen's opinion about that approach.

Up42 only exist due to discounting pricing below commercial rates with some loss-leader pre-purchase discounting model.

History has shown that when you sell something for less then you pay for it; hoping that users don’t fully use their credits to cover that loss; that time is not on your side.

They are already the walking dead.
