User per satellite would also he important.
- shaklee3 9y agoThere's capacity and there's usable capacity. Geosynchronous, especially the newer ones, can put the capacity exactly where they need it. Leo can't. You end up with 70-90% of your capacity stranded unless you can sell it over water, even where planes don't go. So while spacex may have 3Tbps after 1000 satellites, the useable capacity will probably be less than a viasat-3 or any of the newer class satellites being built.
