Will they cover the North and South poles as well? I know there isn't much of a customer base, but it would be interesting to know that every part of the planet is covered and connected.
- hooper 6y agoNo. If you look at the map you'll see that there's an equally sized coverage gap at each pole. I don't know if any reliable source has stated whether they will put any satellites in orbits that can cover the poles, but I imagine it's a pretty low priority commercially. There is already some polar coverage from the Iridium network, which uses orbits with higher inclination.
