It's really not though. If it was, Starlink would have AOL userbase numbers and cash.

If the sales pitch sounds familiar, that is because it is. Alongside OneWeb, a European firm, and Thousand Sails and GuoWang, a pair of Chinese satellite services currently under construction, Kuiper is the latest competitor in a fast-growing market for satellite broadband that is dominated by SpaceX’s Starlink. Such services are increasingly attracting the interest not just of private firms, but of governments too.

This sounds like such LLM lol. If not, you may need to stop using LLMs for awhile to reset to human conversation modality.

Tell it to the author of the article you are commenting on. Not me.

Some doubt the potential for growth with satellite internet. It's still expensive for developing countries. It doesn't have enough capacity for handling cities so that leaves rural customers in western countries and they're not the biggest or richest customer base to build on.
