One area to look into would be flight simulators such as Infinite Flight https://infiniteflight.com and others, that need global satellite data for their flight sim world.

Microsoft entered the flight sim space with MS Flight Simulator last year, and was able to leverage their massive set of Bing data, so any smaller flight sim out there that uses ortho textures would very possibly be interested in "better, cheaper, and faster" imagery.

Great idea! This is the first time I've heard of Infinite Flight, so I'll definitely reach out. We've actually spoken with the company responsible for turning Bing data into the 3D renderings in MS Flight Simulator. We think they're excited!
