If you read it, they need buried lengths of 50-95 KM cable (big slop factor there, non trivial task to dig) to break even, and about 800+KM runs for non-buried cables. Those are very long cable runs.

You misread what the name for the supposed toys was. I described something that looked like another thing with a different name.

The argument is “We have a product consumers like. This product is playing off our product popularity to make sales and profit without being licensed.” Which is a valid claim.
Could I make a sell Tesla plushies or toys and call them “Telsa”?

The key is for producers to start funding more interesting crimes with twisty clues and evidence.

Apple would leave the service running for a number of years (3-5) for things like the HomePods.
Google would take the service up behind the barn and shoot it in the head. Like they recently bricked a bunch of FitBits.
We don’t know what Amazon will do, but they have been selling a lot of hardware to use that service and other companies have been using that service too.

Because according to what I’ve read, they are losing a ton of money on it.

So what happens if Amazon shuts down the Alexa division like sounds is on the table. Will the Alexa services continue to function or will they get shut down also?

I mean this is the whole point. You show ads that are more likely to get clicked to the people more likely to respond to them. You figure that out from statistical analysis of past behaviors. It isn’t like there is a deep dark conspiracy driving this.

If they haven’t invaded Taiwan by the time they start building they will move a huge naval presence in to “protect” it.

Also, you would need separation and the orbital times to each side (north/south) for the satellite chain would be slightly different. You would probably start to get distortion within a day or less.
