Their current plans talk about a constellation of 40,000 says.
While there is limit to number of connections per sat that applies to any routing equipment really, there is not much limit to how many sats can be there .
Sure spectrum is limited today ,however if 5million people use it already, other spectrum could be freed up for this purpose , if there is demand .
The constellation today is not ready for high density usage , it is not that it will never be ready .
- bargl 6y agoThis type of constellation won't be able to do it. They are planning on picking off the users who cable has to run the furthest to off of the ISPs not the close users. If we started spreading out evenly I could see this, but while we've got the population density we do, I don't see this happening. Each house will interfere with it's neighbor, the more they spread the easier it is. >The constellation today is not ready for high density usage , it is not that it will never be ready . I am no sith, I shouldn't speak in absolutes. But, I'd bet that this technology won't disrupt ISPs within 50 miles of a city. I hope it would, but I don't see that happening.
- shaklee3 6y agoThat's not how it works. The FCC doesn't just free up massive spectrum from other places. We're talking about 500MHz chunks that just don't exist. The FCC favors cell technologies, so if anything, they would take it away from them.
