> Eutelsat, which acquired OneWeb in 2023, plans to launch 440 Airbus-built LEO satellites

For comparison: spacex deployed ~2800 last year.

Starliks have a smaller field of view because they operate at a much lower altitude, so they need to be in a much larger volume (10x) than those from Eutelsat.
