at a certain point though, won’t we have enough satellites for internet coverage?
why the need for 10x more satellite launches when we already have a starlink constellation?
That's a fair point. There is strong market competition, and other companies (and countries) will also want to have their own satellite internet networks.

yeah i could see a few more competitors pop up, but i don’t see the internet or earth observation use cases scaling the number of launches exponentially.
i’m receptive to the idea that we do get far more launches in the next decade, just not sure what the use cases might be

I agree. In the article I shared earlier, it says:
Satellite demand also is fueled by government constellations like the U.S. Space Force’s Space Development Agency Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture and Europe’s IRIS2.
