I think SpaceX would have to deliver downlink terminals at scale before third parties would be interested.

- chrisjc 4y agoDefinitely, and there are several other areas that need to be scaled up as well. - Completing the gen 1 constellation, as well as getting gen 2 up. - All of the ground stations - Meeting the bandwidth requirements However, there are potentially other ways SpaceX might be able indirectly benefit. Another idea I've heard floating around is that Starlink can be used to link ground stations together. This might be very important in those especially hard to reach locations where laying fiber or establishing line of sight, etc might be too complicated/difficult/expensive. I've heard that this is not really a viable solution with gen 1s though.
