They really missed an opportunity to cash in and call it Skynet.


Hate to be that guy, but this reference has "gone corpo" a long time ago and somwhat tired now. A number of companies/products have used it for "cool points" with now middle-aged men over the years.


Airbus has Skynet already. And it's a very generic name either way with multiple companies using it.


There's an ISP called SkyNet in Russia. No satellites though, just regular ethernet cables.
