The slap fight between Donald Trump and Elon Musk has highlighted the absurdity of keeping so much of our space program and satellite internet infrastructure in the hands of a single oligarch.
I agree with almost everything you wrote. Purely speculation but the starlink terminals might be cheaper? The latency/bandwidth would also be significantly worse with O3b since it’s in medium earth orbit compared to starlinks low earth orbit. “Regular” satellite internet is prohibitively expensive with even worse bandwidth/latency.
I also agree that people shouldn’t be living in the Amazon but they are and we can’t really force them to leave.
