[QUOTE="Mos Eisley, post: 3586938, member: 7235"] I haven't even read up on that yet. As you can imagine, my employer is radio silent on that technology. LOL. Just Googling it backs up my statement about one of their target demographics (gov't money): "[URL='https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/elon-musk']Elon Musk[/URL]’s [URL='https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/starlink']Starlink[/URL] space internet service could be expanded into a dedicated phone service, as well as a more affordable internet service for low-income customers." I'm not sure how they will handle all this from space with those little things. If you ever stood next to a power amp for a cell antenna you'd understand how much power it takes to transmit a quality signal a few miles through the air. Maybe repeaters on the ground? IDK, I'm not checked out on what they're doing. [/QUOTE]
