Remember the big conversation we had years ago about this in here? It was around the time of peak [mod edit]. A lot of people thought it was risky doing business with Elon. It wasn’t a good argument at the time and hasn’t aged well. Elon wasn’t going to have power personally to turn off our WiFi. We are doing business with a company. It would be like being scared of buying a ticket on Delta because you are concerned Es is going to decide to not let you on the plane. But here we are, we will never catch up and will always operate an inferior product. The fuel savings from the smaller antenna pays for itself in days. The Viasat bulge is absurd.
