Heuristic estimate from public data, not a market quote. A baseline is multiplied by arc desirability, occupancy, operator tier, spectrum, and arc scarcity. See the methodology in docs.

Filed but underutilized. Strategically positioned over the Atlantic. Multiple competing filings from Tonga and other small nations attempting to capture this position.
