In a year, he wants to have 500,000 users. He expects having to invest 25 to 30 billion US-Dollars to fully build Starlink. Each Dishy costs Starlink about double the current purchase price. However, they want to reduce the production cost to "a few hundred dollars" - which is why they are working on their own factory in Texas. FYI Daniel
