<p>How? You can't scale that very well.
<p>When you sell an electronic device, you can drop the cost by selling 100x more items.
<p>If you do that with satellits, and put them in orbit, the leftovers of the old satellites will bombard and destroy your new ones.
<p>And even if making a satellite can be made cheaper, it still costs $huge_amount to put them in orbit.
