===== Conclusion =====

The initial calculations were overly optimistic because they assumed premium pricing on enormous volumes without considering market saturation and cost adjustments for high-volume sales. A more realistic approach indicates that while a $1B investment in an 800 Tbps design capacity system could theoretically generate very high gross revenues, effective sales would likely represent only a fraction of that capacity at lower per-unit prices. Even with conservative assumptions (e.g., selling 50 Tbps at $2,500 per Gbps/month), the project could still reach break-even in about 1–2 years once fully operational, with a full project timeline of roughly 3–4 years.

A detailed feasibility study and market analysis would be required to refine these estimates further, but this revised model provides a more grounded perspective compared to the earlier overly optimistic revenue figures.
