How privileged do you need to be to think that everyone and every place has strong cell phone coverage.

How privileged do you need to be to think that everyone and every place has strong cell phone coverage.
- tsimionescu 2y agoI'm not, and I don't think that. I just know that, a, the entire cell phone market has existed and been massive for decades now without satellite phones; and that, b, SpaceX has very very little satellite-LTE connectivity, and is not adding it very quickly.
- mvanbaak 2y agoever heard of 'innovation'? Just because A existed without B in the past, doesn't mean B is useless.
- tsimionescu 2y agoMusk is showing more and more that he is a fascist willing and able to invest in other fascists to help bring them to power. I would see preventing that as much more important than innovation.
- aydyn 2y agoIn all seriousness your world view is pretty dark, maybe get outside more?
- tsimionescu 2y agoHonestly, if the world isn't looking pretty dark to you right now, I think you're the one who needs to go outside a little bit more. Especially since this drift into right wing extremism can still be stopped, both in the USA and in Europe, but only for a few more years.
- inemesitaffia 2y agoNot adding very quickly? SpaceX went from first launch to service in ~ a year
- tsimionescu 2y agoThe LTE service is progressing much more slowly.
- inemesitaffia 2y agoThere's competitors. The regular service is also progressing slower than originally planned. They are moving faster than the competition though
