From what I've heard this wasn't supposed to be a free internet project, but something like $80 for more bandwidth than other providers offers.

Great discussion!   Fast instant internet access for all is the goal.

Not more bandwidth - you can't beat physical medium on volume.
Faster bandwidth - you can't beat vacuum on speed!

It's not intended to replace fiber in high density areas, although you'll probably be able to pay for a PPP (old networking term) within the same MAN (organizational term) if response time is crucial to you.   That's where he going to make the $$$.    I bet he'll have multiple satellites just to serve the NYSE (financial term!) alone.
