On: SpaceX's Starship launching to orbit for first time ever today

[dzhiurgis]

> 1 Tbps of capacity each

1000000 mbps / 50 mbps per Starlink customer * 80$ per month * 12 months * 26 satellites = $500M revenue per year added per launch.

Yes but I think the launch was more than that :)

[consensus1 → dzhiurgis]

Really even more since almost nobody actually uses 50 mbps bandwidth continuously

IDK how much they oversell it but also single sat probably is maxxed out for that location only, so all constellation is held back by single sat (tho there are usually few you can connect to).
