I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that the demand will be there. At $2,800/kg, I'm curious enough to start looking at options for a _personal_ satellite. It's unlikely that would be viable, because the cost of the communications and stationkeeping hardware would be prohibitive. I'd be interested in sharing space on a "F/OSS" orbiter of some type, but I've not seen any projects that would make such an idea viable. At $100/kg... I'd figure it out, if only to say that I'd done so. At that price I'd be trying to figure out a way to stream video from a microsatellite of orbit, de-orbit, and re-entry just to show the couple of "flat earthers" I know what's obvious to the rest of us. Let them pick the camera and lens so they can't fall back to "It's a fisheye lens!". In all seriousness, though - at $100/kg, you'll see all kinds of entities trying things that have never been practical before just to see if they'd work.
