T-minus X: "Starlink: offering free transit to Azure & GCP."
- lozaning 6y agoEventually someone's going to launch an orbital data center to cut down on round trip latency. You think AWS bandwidth is expensive now lol.
- ethbro 6y agoThought occurred to me, but I imagine heat dispersion would be cost-prohibitive vs terrestrial options. I suppose {sat -> orbital DC -> sat} (latency) or {sat -> orbital DC processing -> ground} (transmission bandwidth) are the primary use cases? Maybe security?
