I think it's possible that one reason that industry is only worth $1.45T is that they have to maintain all that infrastructure. It may be significantly cheaper to operate it all as satellites.


And you believe cables fail more regularly than satellites? Or that replacing them is more expensive? Any numbers for this?


Interesting - what other than cables can you think of in a ground network?


Everything else would also be needed in a satellite internet network.
