- samstave 4y agoI know all this JEASUS. Iridium was out of the price range of the averwage bear. With family in Alaska, we've them for a LONG time in my family. My point is that as SkyNet eveolves - its going to provide defacto global coverage for even the poorest regions. Even Musk himself said that large swaths of africa will see early value. This IMPLIES that they are intending to poc-mark the globe with enough cells... Moonshot idea.
- modeless 4y agoThey're not going to "pockmark" the globe. Starlink V2 will have inter-satellite laser links so local ground stations are no longer required. It's an impressive engineering achievement and a huge improvement to the system with great practical benefits. Providing internet service to as many people as possible and without geographic limitations is hardly a nefarious plot.
- samstave 4y agoI agree and disagree. The plot is not nefarious. They way it will be abused by every government on the planet is.
