IRIS is a 290 sat constellation that doesn’t have any proven sats in orbit or a user terminal. The capacity even if they deliver what they claim on paper is not a Starlink equivalent.
The tyranny of being in MEO/LEO is that your sats are not overhead at least half of the time.
Lower capacity, higher latency, and worse coverage makes it more of a viasat improvement than anything like a starlink equivalent.
They fumbled by not trying to provide global coverage.
