Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Wait for stronger evidence

Why
Real hardware in orbit and FCC-cleared, but commercial service unproven, throughput is spec not field, and the launch supply chain just hit a failure
Next
Watch for first sustained commercial direct-to-cell service metrics and a recovered, steady launch cadence after the BlueBird-7 anomaly
