      Friedberg projects Starlink will generate $40 billion in revenue with $30 billion in free cash flow within a year, potentially justifying a trillion-dollar valuation at a 30X multiple.

"That could be a $30 billion free cash flow within the year […] If you just put a 30X multiple on that, which I think you can because these subscription businesses are very high renewal rate, very low CAC.”
