When there is power, fibre connectivity and property rights it is better and cheaper to stick radio kit on a mast. When these things are not so - then a satellite is a useful alternative.
I think 99% of the global market for comms is less than 1000m from places where there is or will be shortly power, fibre and property rights.
- reaperducer 7y agoI think 99% of the global market for comms is less than 1000m from places where there is or will be shortly power, fibre and property rights. I'd say that is a tremendous overestimation. Even in the United States, the wireless carriers only advertise that they cover 95% of "Americans." Not "America," which is a vastly larger space. And we all know that 95% is, itself, a gross exaggeration.
