- orthecreedence 9y agoThis would be a decent competitive alternative if it truly delivers. My concern would be that this is, once again, a private company on private infrastructure. So although we've added another competitor to the mix (for a grand total of between 1 and 3 in most areas) we would still rely on heavy government regulation to protect Net Neutrality. I don't trust any companies at this point to keep my best interests in mind, whether it's run by Musk or not.
- kbenson 9y agoYes, it is a private company on private infrastructure, but at least it would be competition for existing infrastructure where it exists. That's better than nothing.
- falcolas 9y agoIf it's more reliable than satellite TV has proven to be, and has a reasonable latency, then yeah. Another competitor will be quite welcome, especially in rural areas.
