> Your dismissiveness towards hundreds of millions of underserved people and challenging use cases
This is pompous and elitist nonsense of the highest order. People have other more pressing concerns than fast internet. You know...like water, food and cheap power.
- SonicScrub 6y agoCommunications infrastructure is essential for any developing/developed nation. It's easy to take for granted while living in an urban center of a 1st world nation just how game-changing communications is. A truly global, easily accessible network has the potential to lift millions out of poverty through facilitating economic growth of remote, unconnected areas. Dismissing satellite constellation networks as merely "faster internet" misses the bigger picture. Also it's worth noting that communications networks is but one application for LEO satellite constellation technology.
