LEO satellites still need to orbit the earth, so most of their satellites won’t be over Europe at any given time. I wouldn’t expect 264 satellites to be enough

I wouldn’t expect 264 satellites to be enough to focus on Europe when it takes 7000 to cover the whole planet. Maybe each satellite is much more powerful?
