I just responded to your other comment, so thanks for the SN article. I didn't realize the capacity was almost two orders of magnitude off what current and upcoming satellites are doing. I wonder who their customers are, since GEO satellites have been fighting to get the $(satellite cost)/Gbps down for years. I think this was answered by your link: "Quantum was made possible by the British government, which is funding 90 percent of ESA’s commitment of 71 million euros in the Quantum program" It's the government wasting a tremendous amount of money.
