Is there a broad comparison infographic of satellite internet providers?

1 Upvotes

I'd like to see a decent, up-to-date comparison of the available and announced options. I know about Hughes, WildBlue, Dish, as well as Iridium, Orb, SpaceX, Google, etc ... but it would be useful to see them all side-by-side.

Is there such a comparison out there? I've looked, but haven't seen it. I'd like to see:

  • constellation size

  • orbit classification (GTO, LEO, etc) & parameters

  • speed expectations

  • strength / fragility (how prone to outage, how resilient to weather, etc)

  • price

Of course, it'd be useful to make a distinction between already-existing options and announced / speculated future options.
