Fwiw I don't buy this. A satellite specced for a gig and being used at say 1/16 capacity (to account for orbit) would make say 100 dollars a second. That's nearly 9 million a day, no way do satellite providers make that much, or there would be a lot more supply.
Home based satellite internet wouldnt be viable if it cost thousands of dollars per GB. There are low-volume satellite services that do have a pretty high charge per megabyte, but thats because they are intended for applications that only need a few dozen KB per day or so.
