Great write up! I worked for a few months at a Google datacenter and a few times got to see the fiber endpoints.
Though the idea of such networks not being sold on the market makes be ponder if starlink will come to provide such a service. They’d need to scale out their laser links and ground stations.
- mike_hearn 2y agoThere are hard physical limits on how much bandwidth Starlink can provide to do with spectrum allocations, so it will always be a somewhat boutique service and indeed prices for end users might end up climbing as word spreads and demand grows. They already practice regular dynamic pricing changes depending on demand within a cell. It doesn't make sense for corporate backbones.
