Ah, Branson vs Musk.
This is one of the things where investing in a fast moving technology reminds me of deflationary economy - we are putting a lot of satellites up there and spending billions doing it when tech is accelerating at such a fast rate that in 10 years the electronics will be quite dated, so it might be worth a wait. There is no easy way to update electronics on these once they're up.
Suppose billionaires wants to have a legacy in space before their time on earth is done!
Personally can't wait until this is cheap enough for normal individuals/startups. Low orbit nanosats can be done for $20k-ish already - www.economist.com/news/technology-quarterly/21603240-small-satellites-taking-advantage-smartphones-and-other-consumer-technologies
Going to get crowded up there!
