Why Elon Musk is really building Starlink

Watching this made me smile, I hate to burst everyone's bubble about Jeff and Elon but the only thing they did is reinvent the wheel. I want everyone to look up a little company called (  Iridium ) , now wind back the clock about 25 years and I'm sitting in the middle of Botswana Africa at one of our companies diamond sights , I need to make a call to one of our offices in Vancouver Canada , so I pull out my Sat Phone and a few sec's later and $5.00 a min I'm speaking to my engineer . Iridium at the time had the largest number of low orbiting Sat's on the planet , but failed because of simple math, yes our company could afford $5.00 a min for business but the average person would never pay that to call anyone period. The company failed, literally went bankrupt , but still hand all those Low Orbiting Sat's sitting above us. All that has changed in the dynamic of Iridium's business model is the methodology of there use. I love listening to people say " Omg, Elon or Jeff they are so original, they will revolutionize how we do things , lol " … Sorry everyone, but it's still the same wheel " Different color and a different composite, but she's still a wheel ….
