Have we all already forgotten how the internet works? Flying raspberry pis, or birds on power lines, or pirates in space are all cool... but how do you get those bits from up there in the sky to me, down here, in Phoenix, AZ? Is TPB planning to also buy up fiber? And then copper to my house? TPB is now getting into the telecoms industry! (Which would be a cool pivot, I guess) The servers might be in LEO, or floating in a blimp, but the routers are still sitting in a meet-me room somewhere on the ground, and those routers and cables are still vulnerable to "stop routing TPB or we stop peering with you".
