Free channels are a costly commodity. I very much doubt any bandwidth
will be available for free, certainly not for long time. The only thing
which might be free are direct line-of-sight laser links.

Crosscheck James Rogers' fascinating revelation of a soon-to-come
internet-thru-space infrastructure by a LEO sat fleet. Since our cities
are not designed for stringing optical fibre effortlessly, launching
sats is paradoxically cheaper.
It's insane, but it's true. We must redesign our cities from
scratch, which needs G$$'s and a lot of people cooperating, which will
simply not happen. So gimme the LEO sats, and quick.
