If they get 10 million subscribers at $120 per month, that's $14.4 billion per year which is way more than the cost of the network. And they can easily get 10 million in just the US and Canada. So they can price new subscribers in poorer countries at whatever price they need because the marginal cost to add to the network is near zero.

That math doesn't check out. 10,000,000 * $120 = $1.2 billion per year.

$1.2 billion per month would be $14.4 billion per year
