It's has its place for sure.

But the physics are far more against satalite.

But the reason I don't believe in large scale satalite systems for consumers is because they're disposable. They all fall down or contribute to the growing space junk problem.

So it's not really any better at the end of the day than just burying a fibre cable for 40 years.
