    You’re correct but their LEO constellation is over 10x smaller than Starlink, so they’ve still got a lot of catching up to do.

    They are doing much better than other fabled starlink competitors though, like amazon kuiper which is still not a real thing after all this time.

      They have one strong competitive advantage that Starlink will never have; they are not American.

      By definition, you cannot trust an American service. Even if the people who run a given service are not degenerates, there are enough degenerates in the US that they could elect a degenerate who will fuck you over.
