The birds are up, the hardware is sunk cost and the support tail is relatively minimal if the system is all it’s cracked up to be. So unless people are beating down the door to get on a capacity-strapped network which I haven’t heard about, Ukraine’s part of the bargain is small potatoes. How about a Twitter-style solicitation for system stats, say, used vs. available capacity, like real vs. fake accounts?

Beau made a couple other points. You should make it through a few more launch cycles, calling Ukraine a beta test. What about that, Elon?

Maybe a 3rd metric – Ukraine’s share of available capacity? They should be charging you training hours, bringing your maintenance and support staff up to speed.
