Flutterby™! : Space: The next internet

I am starting to grok that, for many of the same reasons, Space^(tm) is following the path of the internet and becoming commercialized. Unlike the 'net, however, where you must play reasonably well with others to be a functional part of it. Such constraints are not the same in space, and commercial entities of various (multiple even) nationalities may soon run into problems like: 2 companies both want to place and operate a satellite in a particular sweet spot for communications, and the one that was there just got knocked out of orbit somehow. As companies like Bigelow Aerospace and SpaceX pick up where NASA was, and as other countries foster similiar private industry, I will hope they play together well in Outer Space.
