Even for ultimate speed I don't see how it works. Facilities to make and launch satellites add a lot of delays and need their own permits.

The queue to hook up to the Texas grid is 3-5 years long now.

It’s long been 2-3 years nationwide (for redundant transmission grid connections).

Building an off-grid data center is much easier in space where sunlight exposure is predictable and not affected by weather.

That's an advantage.

"Much easier" overall is quite a claim.
