> How did they not become spacex/starlink

You need to go big first with the rockets.

If you have the rockets, everything else is easy later on. Collect millions from others to launch the satellites in the meantime.



And if you don't have rockets, you use SpaceX, like GlobalStar does.

Leo/Kuiper was launching satellites on SpaceX as well.

Only after a shareholder lawsuit
