The logic is a bit perplexing. I don't see how something that transmits video from orbit to be distributed over fibre/point-to-point links is "500,000 times worse" than something that transmits video down from orbit, transmits it back up to orbit, and then broadcasts it back down again to multiple receivers; or "10,000 more wasteful" than dedicating airwave bandwidth to this.

Plus: YouTube has been streaming this for most of 2025. (Just checked: 223 people watching the YouTube live stream right now.) So it's a mystery why it's only suddenly stupid when #ITVX starts to carry the stream.
