I can imagine there’s a direct connection to Apples announcement on Sep 7th. I don’t recall all the details, but read a report, that Apple bought a partially defunct satellite network, that has only very few, but therefore geostationary satellites which come with bandwidth licenses that exceed Starlink’s by a lot. Might be totally wrong, but did anybody else hear that rumor?
- Kye 4y agoThe latency is probably as bad as any other stationary satellite network. Apple might have bought it to ensure connectivity with its interests across the globe, not to productize it.
- BenjiWiebe 4y agoThe latency will be bad unless they use faster than light communication.
- Kye 4y agoThis is in a context comparing them to satellites that fly low enough to get latencies comparable to terrestrial.
