I'm pretty sure the US DoD has its own network of satellites for communications and has had one before Starlink.

I'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.
