For AI: https://www.swiss-ai.org/ https://www.swiss-ai.org/ For Starlink: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eutelsat_OneWeb https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eutelsat_OneWeb It's debatable whether there is a need for the latter in Switzerland though. They have maybe the best fiber network in Europe, which far outperforms anything Satellite-based. You'll regularly get 25 Gb/s symmetrical on residential connections: https://sschueller.github.io/posts/the-free-market-lie/ https://sschueller.github.io/posts/the-free-market-lie/

  > starlink in Switzerland ? I know a lot of people with Starlink in Schweiz. It's a mountainous country with a strong tradition of outdoorsmanship. From a military preparedness perspective, you're not guiding munitions with terrestrial fibre.

    You actually would want to use fibre. It's the most jamming resistant drone control technique. Ukraine and Russia rely on spools of optical cable strapped to drones.
