Have any of you been following the next Elon Musk business venture where he hopes to provide fiber type internet speeds (up and down) to all locations, even deep country areas, by satellite?
If you live in an area like me, country, woods and farms, internet speeds are a big limiting factor. I’ve looked into satellite based services a few different times over the past 10-15 years. Sadly, the upload speeds have been the breaking point in the technology for me. So, I’ve been forced to stick with DSL, as it’s my only option for high speed service. I get 25 down and 1.5 up.
Musk’s new business vision uses a new satellite based technology implementation that has 3 shells, or layers, of satellites at various depths or distances from earth. These shells would handle various tasks but together they hope to get fiber type of speeds nearly anywhere. And they hope to sign American based military services as one of their first customers.
I hope they are able to accomplish this, it would be awesome for my area. But it’s also more crap in our nights sky. Thoughts?
