> giants in the satellite telecom industry join forces to counter Starlink >> Sounds promising.. This is hilarious to me - because the incumbent players in the satellite networking business were slow, anti-competitive dinosaurs. They were the ones who needed to be "countered" with something that was/is; - cost-effective - low-latency - high-bandwidth They had decades of essentially monopolistic ownership of this "space" and failed to innovate. For as much as I dislike a certain billionaire - SpaceX is doing what all the other incumbent players did not - and honestly that sounds far more promising than dinosaurs merging with each other.
