Globalization of Space Services Market makes Unilateral Space Dominance Unlikely (3343)

The global nature of the space services market complicates the ability of any one country to dominate outer space militarily. For example, the U.S. military currently relies on the services (bandwidth, imagery, telecommunications, etc) of some multinational space conglomerates that could also control satellites that provide the same services to U.S. adversaries. Technically, the U.S. may be able to disable enemy satellites but it may be politically restrained from doing so.
