I agree that most revenue will come from military, shipping, airlines etc. But I don't see why that should preclude other uses at other price points. Particulaly as those users can be separated geographically. And the marginal cost of bandwidth could become very low. If the only customer in a footprint is a school in a remote area then you might as well sell to them at a price they can afford. It is more revenue than you would have got otherwise. It's like selling seats on an airline. Most revenue comes from expensive business class seats, but there are still cheap seats. Because most costs are fixed regardless of how many users.
- edgyquant 5y agoNo I’m not saying it will preclude the other clients. Just that Musk has a way of selling his companies as doing one thing to the masses while actually making money via the government.
