But starlink.
Seriously how are they going to make it work?
- m463 7y agoI've wondered about that too, but their satellites are close to the ground - 620 miles vs 22,236 miles. I don't know how far away the average cellular tower is, but I imagine line of sight could be a better signal than a closer occluded signal. Wikipedia says cell tower range on hilly terrain can be 5 miles, while on flat ground it can be 30-45 miles (which is still over the horizon). What I wonder about is how many phones per satellite is supportable.
