It is operationally profitable. It's interesting that it has to launch over 2,000+ satellites every year.

I thought it was profitable including the satellite launches but could have misunderstood. They are raking in billions a year and thair launch costs are extremely low because of rocket reuse.

Not sure if they have generators or not (I would guess they do in places with frequent outages). So maybe outages isn't such a worry? Not around us. If there’s a power cut the fibre goes off line.
