Seems to me even with all those sats, talking about gigabit service to customers is a bit of marketing hype. Speaking of marketing, that would seem to be the key, how will they market this? Unless the target market is the same people who bought Iridium phones. SpaceX does not have a natural existing marketing vehicle for Internet service, I assume they will need partners or resellers. That is the advantage a Verizon, AT&T or DISH has – millions of existing customers they can advertise to, and offer bundle deals to. Satellite does have a natural appeal to the “nothing on my house” people, you can stick the antenna on a short pole in the yard. Still not a great solution for the apartment and condo dwellers without south facing balconies, they want indoor wireless modems. I am assuming the LEO orbits will still be in the southern sky like GPS sats, maybe that is wrong and they will whiz overhead in all directions?
