    Oneweb is medium altitude unlike starlink which is low altitude, so you don’t need as many. It doesn’t have as much capability but it’s fine. But when starship is operational there will be plenty of capacity to launch a lot more sats and get more capacity.

      NGL, I’ve always hated starlink’s proposal. They last so little time and polute the sky making astronomy harder and raising risks of collision. It’s LEO littering for a product that could be substituted with existing infrastructure tech at a fraction of the cost.
