OpenClaw Struggles to Grow Up After Overnight Success

OpenClaw, the AI agent software that took the tech world by storm, is reckoning with a difficult choice: whether to transition from an experimental hacker project to a sustainable tool companies can reliably use.

I think it will be fascinating to see how Amazon LEO prices their services and also how the Chinese mega constellations price LEO BB in the developing world. Musk has not made many friends with Starlink's bullying tactics and I expect the Chinese to be priced aggressively like they do in other strategic segments.
