talking out of your ass here. satellites don’t typically just run out of fuel. they don’t really need fuel once they’re in orbit. the reason why spacex satellites fall down after like 5 years or sth is because they’re in an intentionally low orbit, where atmospheric friction is still relevant.
I literally clapped my cheeks together on the keyboard to write that last comment and couldn’t be bothered to provide the numbers or context that you provided to support my statement.
There’s also the cost of relaunching satellites once they run out of fuel. The maintenance cost is also higher compared to fiber.
