Do you have the feeling that you miss Satelite or that you use it a lot?
Because while i agree on GPS and all the others (and it happened anyway), i'm lost on why i would care about satelite?
I do prefer optic fiber when possible.
- wumpus 5y agoYou can use satellites in many ways without realizing it. Examples: * Rural cell towers that use satellite backhaul * Airplane wifi over the ocean * Newscasts which use video uploaded via satellite, from places like Afganistan
- ultrarunner 5y agoI have two specific needs for remote data connections (uploads in both cases). In one, satellite connectivity makes a ton of sense, and I think we are on the cutting edge of it being viable. This need is fairly tolerant of low bandwidths & high latencies. The other need requires low power, high bandwidth and low latencies. Satellite is completely nonviable as of now. We might need an upgrade in the physical laws of reality to make it viable. I imagine 90% of most people's usage would be closer to the latter case than the former. Denser constellations might make the former more palatable in the long run.
