There's also the cost of relaunching satellites once they run out of fuel. The maintenance cost is also higher compared to fiber.

    talking out of your ass here. satellites don't typically just run out of fuel. they don't really need fuel once they're in orbit. the reason why spacex satellites fall down after like 5 years or sth is because they're in an intentionally low orbit, where atmospheric friction is still relevant.
