You mean, like a cellular network?
- adgjlsfhk1 4y agothe key thing is that the expensive part of a cell network is covering all the low density areas. SpaceX would only need to build out a cell network in the densely populated parts which is roughly 10000x less area and use starlink for everyone else
- cozzyd 4y agoUsing what spectrum?
- foxyv 4y agoPossibly the one they use for satellites if they already have approval, or they can setup their own WISP.
- lolc 4y agoWhat can they offer that 5G doesn't in an urban environment? You can get 100 mbps on a 5 w energy budget in a city.
- foxyv 4y agoI think the question is, why do people subscribe to Starlink in an urban environment that already has 5g available. The answer is probably that even if the terrestrial sites go down, you still have a satellite uplink. Edit: Or "It's Starlink!"
