Starlink V3 launches with Starship will carry 25 to 50 times more bandwidth than a Falcon flight with V2, depending on how you count it.
Starship will also launch 100+ times more per year than Falcon (mostly AI sats).
Probably ~20k comms satellites per year at ~2 tons/sat. High mass flux to orbiy.
Elon Musk says Starship will also launch 100+ times more per year than Falcon (mostly AI sats). This would be 16,000 launches per year. Probably ~20k comms satellites per year at ~2 tons/sat. High mass flux to orbit.
200 V4 Starship launches per year would put 20,000 communications satellites in orbit.
$500 billion per year to $2 trillion per year in broadband internet and direct to cellphone revenue.
