To put V3 Starlink significance into context for investors, here is a starlink bandwidth estimate based on our conservative launch forecasts out to 2028. Our base case launch forecast suggests 8 Pbps of bandwidth (8,000 Terabits per second) in orbit by 2028, which only uses 151 Starship launches (1 launch every ~2 days, Elon and SpaceX are targeting 8k+ a year) 8 Pbps is enough bandwidth to more than 10x all of Starlink's bandwidth today, and put Starlink's global 2028 bandwidth supply about equal to ALL of the global internet traffic bandwith demand in 2025.
$SPCX Starship is about to cross a pretty big milestone with FAA approval now in hand for Flight 14 on Monday. Flight 14 will carry 26 V3 Starlink satellites making it Starship’s first revenue generating mission.

It is increasingly probable that Starlink will carry a majority of Earth’s IP traffic long-term. At that point, Starlink would de facto become the Internet and everything else would connect to Starlink.
