Could you give some specific examples of potential customers who have expressed an interest in an open source satellite constellation? I would guess a company like Matrix.org might be a good fit.

In terms of large customers, yes, community projects like that are an option, but in a lot of cases we expect our customers to be individuals simply purchasing a terminal for their own use. We've had plenty of individuals express interest in using it - it probably wouldn't be useful to start just listing off names but if you'd like to join the FemtoStar Matrix room you'll find plenty of people very interested in it (though, in fairness, being interested in it is why you would join the Matrix room to begin with).

We have found that the idea of 100%-FOSS, privacy-respecting, low-cost, medium-speed internet access even in the middle of nowhere, plus an open platform for custom services is appealing to a lot of people.
