Any new node must be vetted, it can receive only 5% of potential traffic until got vetted. To be vetted on one satellite it should pass 100 audits for it. For the one node it should take at least a month.  
Also, space and bandwidth are used by real people, not machines. There is no predictable traffic or usage.

No problem its just easier cause most likely people have asked the same question many times, chances are there’s already an answer to it.
