>Comparatively Starlink has fewer novel problems to solve.
Lol, this is worse than the infamous Dropbox comment. There are no LEO providers except for Starlink for a reason. Starlink required novel launch techniques, novel antennas, novel network management, and that’s just what we know about publicly.
- trasz 4y agoThe “infamous Dropbox comment” was technically valid - there’s no novel technology there. What the comment missed was the business part - Dropbox is technically inferior, but at the same time it’s superior business-wise, and that’s a common theme for the vast majority of web startups.
- jjj123 4y agoThe parent comment wasn’t saying that starlink has no Novel problems to solve, just that there were fewer than GPS.
- meheleventyone 4y agoAbsolutely I think people don’t realise that the GPS project began in 1973!
- kortilla 4y agoWhat novel problems do you think GPS had to solve?
