Currently, probably not much of an issue. But it brings to mind the Electric Scooter and Bicycle Rental debacles, where the companies attempted to rapidly permeate the urban walkspace. If you have ever flown at night ( or navigated a boat ) at night, the presence of an exponentially expanding sea of randomly moving lights will gradually deteriorate situational awareness - it is very very difficult to estimate distance and closure rate of point sources of light at night ( See Norwegian frigate collision ).
They need to figure out what that density is, and then work backwards from there, or and / or establish flight path corridors. Then they can hold something like spectrum auctions if there is some upper limit.
The infrastructure ( boosters, satellites, up/down links, and the bundles of integration are not the problem ). And the economics of doing all these things can be aggressively improved.
But the big brick wall every technology company has hit like a bug on a windshield with any sort of orbital communications is the regulatory environment. International agreements that favor incumbents, frequency allocations, and almost every company has a pet telecom owned by the government ( or wealthy family proxies ), and other political strangle holds. This political complexity is part of what hampered the original Iridium deployment.
... One good example of this is how email hasn't become as commonplace as it has in most of the developed world. No, people in Japan, particularly companies, instead chose to use fax machines to achieve the same tasks as it was still the 1980s.
Because fax works 100% of the time, regardless of the end points. It doesn't require Internet connectivity, it will work across POTS, while it still can leverage Internet Fax services like eFax. The hardware, supplies, maintenance, and longevity are dirt cheap and require no tech staff. It, by default, leaves and audit trail and hardcopy, which is essential for vendors that are still paper based, like home workshops. It is legally and statutorily recognized in almost all countries of the world. You don't have to deal with font and encoding issues, like characters that never made it into Unicode. Point to point security is acceptable if it's going over the voice network. It can be marked-up and annotated and returned immediately, especially with signatures.
'Fax' pre-dates telephones, and there are reasons why it is still used today - it is a least common denominator for most of the globe and even the smallest businesses in the 3rd World.
Inevitable, and only reasonable that instead of foreign conglomerates exploiting their markets through colonialism, that it be replaced by indigenous exploitation of their own people through corruption.:-) See "India Continues To Rank Among Most Corrupt Countries In The World" ( https://www.forbes.com/sites/r... ).
The national security of the United States relies on a healthy airline industry.
No, it doesn't. That's absurd. The military flies its own shit.
etc.
Yes, yes, it does. The Civil Reserve Air Fleet ( http://www.af.mil/About-Us/Fac... ) provides a huge air logistical capacity for U.S. forces in an emergency, and most of those 'ex-military" pilots for the carriers are also military reserve officers. for that matter, 10 U.S. Code 688 "Under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Defense, a member described in subsection (b) may be ordered to active duty by the Secretary of the military department concerned at any time."
The CRAF's 553 aircraft available at 24 to 48 hours notice more than double the more specialized 430 aircraft of the Air Mobility Command ( not to mention global maintenance and other support functions ) - already with military aircrews. This is in addition to run of the mill contract capacity that take a little longer to spool up.
... and this is key - that can operate without reservation into and inside of combat zones. No checking with insurance companies, airline management, etc.
It simply doesn't matter what 'X' number of tanks or artillery or infantry you have, what matters is the capability to concentrate forces and then shift them again if needed. The commercial air transport capacity this country is a very large force multiplier.

You are clearly right that the degree of hype depends on where you read the article, but most people don't read the articles aimed at specialists.
One of the progressive trends in manufacturing is that, what was once advanced manufacturing tool chains has radically come down in price and accessibility - i.e. not so much specialists any more. A buddy of mine, a residential general contractor, just build a 3-axis CNC router from of the shelf extrusion and MDX sheets for making cabinet panels. He's a little smarter than the average bear, but only has an associates degree from a community college - but the documentation and online forums were there (community knowledge). I am using the free-tier of Onshape ( https://www.onshape.com/ ), a parametric CAD ecosystem that ten years ago would have cost $30,000 a seat - and almost all their partners have free tiers from advanced simulation and visualization capabilities. Online market places like https://www.shapeways.com/for-... are maturing, with phenomenal delivery models. I'm fairly certain somebody in the auto industry is paying attention to projects like https://www.osvehicle.com/faq/ and there is impetus to nail down markets before they become wide spread. Even the early hype is back filling in, and it is sort of amusing that the really innovative stuff now happening is unmentioned because it simply not sound-bite-able.
That said, you seem to be agreeing with my point that the high quality 3-D printers are designed for specific jobs. The one that prints titanium can't print cement, etc. This means that their utility in space is limited, though there are other places where they can be extremely useful. I agree that it's reasonable that the high quality printers be more expensive, but that *is* a factor limiting some of their uses, so it's not only the limitation in the materials that they can handle, the speed they can print, the resolution they can print at, or the maximum/minimum size they can print...though those are also limitations on any particular printer.
I generally agree with you. But it's the case with ordinary paper printers also:-)
Yes, this is a reasonable trade-off, but it argues against "just ship a 3-D printer with your space ship to make all the spare parts". (Well, the cost isn't a argument against *that* use case, but the rest are.)
To my point about "really innovative stuff now happening is unmentioned", your case is true for current space ship designs.But there is a decade(s) long wrap around effect with manufacturing technology. It is much different when you can design from the ground up, accommodating the capabilities of the tool chain and materials - one big part becomes several smaller parts to fit in the envelope, for instance.
Way back when, a friend of mine (aeronautical engineer) and I had a chance to crawl through a Soviet Mir ground test article ( identical in all aspects to the actual station in orbit ). We started denigrating the seemingly astonishing primitiveness of what we were observing. He paused, and said "Ya know, every thing here can be fixed with ordinary hand tools, all fasteners the same, cabinets had reach room... I'd feel safer in this knowing I could fix or jury-rig everything!". In other words, they designed for a resilient total life-cycle.
The big lag now, is recycling materials back into feed stock - a totally non-glamorous technological arena, and undeserving of hype!:-)
The times I've checked that kind of thing out, each particular kind of production environment needed a custom designed 3-D printer that essentially only worked in that environment...and was a lot more expensive than the standard 3-D printer.
I guess it whether 'hype' existed or not would depend on which Golgafrincham Ark ( “A”, “B” and “C” ) one has a ticket for. The Internet is full of penny a word bloggers and FaceBook walls people post to without reading. I can't speak to it because I simply probably don't read places where it is common place. My 3D printing experience resulted from passing around specifications and tables. The sales people didn't hype anything, all I contacted were actually upfront if their product fit and even referred me to other manufactures. MarkForged gave me a referral to some local folks who were using their machines in production. So it was way opposite of hype.
All tools have a direct relationship between the price, accuracy, material worked, reliability, and specialization - sometimes 10x$ or even 100x$ ( especially for measurement ) for something that looks the same to a layperson - be it baking, plumbing, wood working, metal forming, etc. "A" passengers recognize this holds because of simple math and physics, if your part is x, you will need a tool accurate to 10x to harness the Gaussian curve to get repeatable parts. "C" passengers intuitively know from experience that the hammer needs to be harder than the thing it's hitting.
Both know that a 'standard' tool is an oxymoron, the definition of a tool is that it is functionally aligned with it's task. Admittedly, just yesterday I used a rock, but I picked an appropriate size and shaped rock to temporarily shim a joist.
A quick glance at PR Newswire ( "hypefeed' ) would seem to indicate the hype has substantially diminished - you can always tell from what sorts of things the text mentions, i.e. 'possibilities' vs. "3% decreased material usage".
Yes, but... I think 3D printing is likely to always be a half century behind current manufacturing technology. For example, when last I checked, 3D printing couldn't do more than the most basic semiconductor. Will they get better?
Siemens has achieved a breakthrough in the 3D printing of gas turbine blades. For the first time, a team of experts has full-load tested gas turbine blades that were entirely produced using additive manufacturing.
I am designing for the https://markforged.com/ now, using embedded graphite composites. For some applications, they are already better than traditional manufacturing, especially in the economics for scaling to production.
For GM's effort to be successful, their lobbyists will also submit model legislation progressively requiring the abandonment of personal vehicles and hold harmless laws / limited liability for the manufactures and operators of autonomous vehicle systems. Brings to mind history:
"The General Motors streetcar conspiracy refers to convictions of General Motors (GM) and other companies for monopolizing the sale of buses and supplies to National City Lines (NCL) and its subsidiaries, and to allegations that this was part of a deliberate plot to purchase and dismantle streetcar systems in many cities in the United States as an attempt to monopolize surface transportation."
The driver is the auto industries attempt to create an artificial market. Historically, the fundamental basis of personal vehicles was the suburban lifestyle and commuting. Now, most major urban areas have Growth Management plans in place to concentrate residential growth into concentrations ('urban villages') with access to mass transit, urban cores are gentrifying, and worst for them, vehicles themselves are lasting longer and have reached asymptotic performance improvement, and ludicrous price points.
See "Average age of household vehicles for several years" ( https://www.rita.dot.gov/bts/s... ). A car in 1969 had an average lifetime of 5.1 years, in 1990 it was 7.6 years, 2009 it was 9.5 years, and now in 2016 it is 11.6 years. Who is buying is also a problem for them ( http://www.autonews.com/articl... ):
The average new car buyer is now 51.7 years old and earns about $80,000 per year, while the average age of the population is 36.8 years old and the median income is roughly $50,000, Szakaly said.... “It takes four millennials to replace one boomer” in terms of economic impact, Szakaly said. “There’s going to be this gap between baby boomers and millennials.”
Also, look at the auto industries track record handling any sort of technical problem ( https://www.cheatsheet.com/aut... ). And we can't even get automated trains, an essentially 1 dimensional problem, correct. Two years, right - it takes a commercial aircraft nearly a decade to get a type certification, with 'only' hundreds of lives at stake.
Basically, eventually they hope to follow the same defacto monopoly model of the cable companies - regional and local monopolies with non-existent competition.
Municipalities have been granting easements and other uses of government property for several hundred years in this country for private enterprise for all sorts purposes - it is a very well defined process, and almost always the denial is because of some common sense reason - like denying others use, potential for damage, costs for removal after sun setting, environment, but most important there is some not so obvious cost shifting to the public to the private sector - essentially a subsidy.
If you want some detail into those factor, look through the comments in "COMMENTS OF SMART COMMUNITIES SITING COALITION" ( comprised of individual localities, local government associations, and local agencies responsible for roadway safety which collectively represent more than 1,800 communities and nearly 30 million residents in 10 states. ) at https://ecfsapi.fcc.gov/file/1...
These deals with micro-cell deployment, but it is pretty typical>
"Notably, the primary cause of delays in application processing continues to be the failure of applicants to submit complete applications. For
example, as a routine matter, Mobilitie has submitted cookie cutter proposals for 100-120 foot towers in the public rights-of-way, without doing any meaningful field engineering, or making any significant effort to comply with state, federal or local requirements – imposing significant
cost on communities."
I've seen companies turn essentially blank pieces of paper - obviously attempting to throw it over the fence so they can claim 'progress' and meet some deadline - then gripe because they are being 'held up'.
Actually, I don't give the faintest thought to Jihadist.

I think the are detecting are generic relationships, and over a larger sample there would be much less specificity. George Lakhoff in "Women, Fire, and Dangerous Things" proposes that the 'Concepts' presented in language are pretty much a certain set of metaphors ( image schema: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... ) that we re-use to operate in the world.
And pretty much all those metaphors are 'embodied', i.e. they are fundamentally grounded in the physics of our bodies. But the vast portion of 'meaning' for language is in the context ( Information Flow: The Logic of Distributed Systems by Jerry Seligman and Jon Barwise ).
Human language is vastly overloaded with meanings - in "Using Language" by Herbert Clark, he suggests three parallel levels, the intellectual, the emotional, and kisceral ( which are slices of the brain not shown by the researchers). And also the meaning is mutually constructed between the sender and the receiver.
Wittgenstein ( https://plato.stanford.edu/ent... ) would probably also point out that the vast amount of human language from birth on is more or less habitual rote exchanges and not requiring hardly any thought at all.
Of course people laying in the sterile environment of a operating MRI machine ( CLUNK, CLUNK,.. with a blindfold on) hearing identical words will have have similar superficial responses. Had the person been actually on trial being shouted at themselves, there would have been much different activation patterns.
