Wouldn't a widespread ground-based infrastructure outage also take out (or at least severely degrade) Starlink in the affected region if people were to widely use it as a backup solution?
- inemesitaffia 8mo agoStarlink has been known to carry traffic over lasers from Southern Africa to Europe and from New Zealand to Eastern USA. During the power outage in Spain/Portugal they proactively moved traffic to the UK Local failures don't matter unless your country doesn't allow landing user traffic in other countries (Indonesia, Bangladesh)
