- morkalork 3y agoYes, the implication being that there's been a second round of funny business by mr musk. I cannot comprehend how self-sabotaging this is. Ok, sure, starlink was going to have rural subscribers which is a lot of people but not as nearly a large market as urban telecom. And yeah, they'd have some customers in less developed countries that lack infrastructure. And sure, there's maritime shipping. But at the end of the day the real money maker, the one they could charge a premium to, was going to be the DoD. And he's pissing all over them.
- hollerith 3y agoI'm pretty sure the US DoD has its own network of satellites for communications and has had one before Starlink.
- chpatrick 3y agoI don't know if anyone's ever had the scale of launches necessary for a system like Starlink though. As far as I know rocket launches are public even if what they're carrying is confidential.
- oceanplexian 3y agoI’m sure they do, and it’s probably 45 years behind Starlink technologically. Starlink is the only game in town for low latency, high bandwidth satellite communications.
- peteradio 3y agoDo you actually need the bandwidth if your network isn't saturated with ads and tracking?
- brokenmachine 3y agoReally? Don't all those predator drones have to stream high-quality video? Also I bet aircraft carriers at sea need a good data connection too.
- philwelch 3y agoThat’s a separate service with its own satellites and it’s called Starshield. https://www.spacex.com/starshield/ https://www.spacex.com/starshield/
