It will be bundled in, so you can shop, ship, and then stream while you await delivery, all over their service.

That will get them a number of subscribers right off the bat.

I stay away from anything connected to them as best as possible.

I take great umbrage with their business practices and how the government lets them get away with what they do.

As for their space programs I think they are nothing more than a tax write off and a way to get government hand outs for trying to make rocket parts.

In order for that to happen, the PRC would first need to have a network to which it would be possible to switch. As the old saying goes, “You can’t beat something with nothing.” While the PRC has made noises about two or three possible such satellite networks, none is currently extant. It is likely to be several more years before the first such PRC satellite constellation is sufficiently populated to begin minimal service. And that assumes the PRC has not collapsed in the meantime – very much a possibility, especially if it is so unwise as to attempt to seize Taiwan by force.

How long will ULA be willing to keep those boosters, and the infrastructure and expertise to launch them, ready to go? Of course the other thing these payload have in common is the ability to launch on a Falcon 9!

I wouldn’t be surprised if a major sticking point in the rumored Blue Origin deal to buy ULA isn’t resolving the issue of what to do about the committed Atlas V launches. Who ya gonna call?!
