They haven't made a dime yet. So far, it's all design, build, and launch costs. If they are to be believed, they might be able to make some money toward the end of this year. I can only begin to imagine what this has cost so far. They will have to have had at least 10 launches (and ~~ 600 satellites)  to begin charging for service. Care to put a cost estimate on that?

scope of its ambition.

IPOs are to raise money. Maybe StarLink isn’t making ends meet after all.
