Proprietary startups for M2M in most of cases bad idea, especially if they require
custom hardware (those operate in VHF band).And with such history: <<Originally in March of 2018, Swarm had launched satellites without FCC approval. In December of 2018, Swarm agreed to pay the FCC a total of $900k over five years for the unauthorized launch. The company began bouncing back, as it closed a Series A financing round with $25 million in January.>>

if startup fail to reach profit margin.I rather will trust technologies based on open standards, like FossaSat or Lacuna, often they are built with terrestrial fallback, and in fact you can build your own gateways, if required. And more than that, some modules, like Murata, support both Sigfox + LoRaWAN, and technically possible to support LoRa satellites as well at same time, without significant hardware mods.

For the IoT/M2M stuff that doesn’t require huge amounts of data, there is a Silicon Valley startup that is deploying cube sats for just that. Swarm Technologies https://www.swarm.space/ -Mike
