    No way… He’s thrown up thousands of sats over dozens of launches. 200 $ a month from what, a few tens of thousands of customers? I don’t think so.

    But I could be wrong.

      Starshield is $1,200 a month per node.

      My unit already has 3 of them, and were procuring more.

          It’s pretty much a dedicated constellation and a SLA.
