> Starlink is going to sue over this, and they'll win. By 2028 Starlink expects to have two orders of magnitude more capacity than they do now. 15x as many satellites, with an order of magnitude more capacity per satellite

and an order of magnitude (or more) more subscribers. they're likely going to fall far short on the launch cadence (as they have) and subscriber demand isn't going away.

More satellites means they can sell more subscriptions, not that subscriptions will be faster. And, they need those subscriptions badly.

I know, but they need more subscriptions and those subscriptions to be faster given these latest results.
