Has anyone heard much about the Telesat Lightspeed program?
As far as I can tell, there is no regular consumer access planned for it. It seems like a missed opportunity on their part.
- MegaDeKay 3y agoLightSpeed is indeed all backhaul. Whether it is a missed opportunity depends on how you look at it. Go direct consumer and you are competing directly against Amazon and StarLink. I guess TeleSat believes the bigger opportunity is going where these companies are not. And I gotta say that "Lightspeed" is a hell of a misnomer given the rate that this program is plodding along. The longer it slides, the more that StarLink etc eat their lunch.
