You're assuming the lasers are the bottleneck. On what basis are you
making this assumption?

If satellites A B and C feed data to D who must then forward the data to
E, then the D to E link will be 3 times oversubscribed if the first 3
links are at capacity.


So if the network is badly designed by a moron there will be problems.
Well, DOH! The solution, of course, is to not have a moron design it.


Again, if they have single wavelength in the laser, this is small amount
of capacity by today's standards.


But adequate for 50% of current global internet backhaul capacity. And
you seem to think (or at least be basing your whinging upon) the idea
that Starlink is intended to REPLACE existing fiber. It's not.


You keep throwing up these hand-waved arguments like no one at SpaceX
has ever thought of these things.

And you keep assuming that because Musk tweets stuff while high on
cannabis or other, it must mean that SpaceX has not only thought of
potential problems but also solved them.


And you keep saying moronic things, like the preceding. It's why
you're more a source of laughter than of serious discussion.
