Imagine if this island could cash in on this...
"A race among several major players is underway to build a next-generation broadband network in space, as companies lay out plans to use a so-called constellation of hundreds or even thousands of small satellites. Elon Musk’s SpaceX launched two test satellites for its “Starlink” network last year, the first step toward its goal of a constellation of 4,425 satellites. Additionally, last month Softbank-backed OneWeb launched the first six satellites of its network, which plans to begin with a constellation of 650 interconnected satellites.
Boeing and Canadian operator Telesat have also revealed plans for high speed internet constellations.
OneWeb’s satellites cost about $1 million each to manufacture and the start-up plans to launch all of 650 over the next two years, with rockets lifting 30 at a time.
The SpaceX Starlink satellites were some of the smallest proposed, weighing just under 900 pounds each."
