"SpaceX begins ?significant reconfiguration? of Starlink constellation"

"SpaceX's Starlink constellation of satellites is an amazing example of
taking advantage of what lots of access to Earth orbit can do for
humanity. With over 9,000 satellite nodes on orbit, it brings high speed
web access to pretty much every place on Earth. The trades for buying
the time on the network get better every couple of days when a new batch
of satellites goes up. Stephen Clark, writing at Ars Technica starts his observation this way:"
"The year 2025 ended with more than 14,000 active satellites from all
nations zooming around the Earth. One-third of them will soon move to
lower altitudes."
Wow, SpaceX controls 2/3rds of the satellites in orbit. And the SpaceX factory is making ten new satellites a day.
