I would question where all this money will come from.
I’m thinking that, besides normal Internet coverage, we will also see voice service (if latency can be kept tolerable).
This will allow increasing numbers of people to bypass their local telecom monopolies.
Meaning that we(taxpayers) will subsidize Musk's company, and also help pay for third world toilets services'...again.
I’ll give you three guesses.
Please recall. We have seen this movie before. I can’t recall they name of the company but it was concurrent with the Global Crossing fiasco. During BJ’s administration. It is the early version of the Solyndra business model. Farming taxpayer funds through gummint grants.
That’s Space X (aka the Internet 2)
Basically the Globalist will be able to track you anywhere on the planet. The Globalist will be able to send a Drone or a Robot to you.
Although you will be able to get the high speed Internet anywhere. It will not matter if you are in the Amazon or the Arctic.
Once the Quantum chip goes mainstream (2024) and Space X too goes online. Prepare for the great leap over the next 5 years (2024-2029). Then we will be living in the Jetsons. Yep stuff that we use to dream about will become reality.
Hope he doesn’t plan on tapping taxpayers! Though high-speed would be nice, about a third of the world’s population is illiterate and about a third don’t have access to electricity at all or access to reliable electricity.
And, what(?), maybe fully half couldn’t afford a computer if they wanted it. So perhaps more than 60%(?) of the world doesn’t have any use for a global internet. I don’t want to pay for it, that’s for sure!
See too, “Oneweb.” A planned 648 satellite constellation, with work underway.
“Hope he doesn’t plan on tapping taxpayers!”
LOL!
“I don’t want to pay for it, that’s for sure!”
You will.
Elon Musk is just another African living on the US government dole...
Near earth space will be awfully crowded. I wonder what the US Air Force thinks about all these high-speed bullets whizzing around?
Yup, global Internet and a free Obamafoam for every human, as a human right, provided by the UN at US Taxpayer expense. Trillions in boondoggle providing free smartphones for people who can’t read and have no place to recharge them.
We have two years to kill the UN.
This dude in insane in the membrane... Time to pull the financial plug on this fool and his maniacal meanderings. He can’t even keep up with the production quota’s for his fantastical and very explosive Tesla car.
“Hope he doesn’t plan on tapping taxpayers!”
And then we can maybe give it away like Obama did the internet.
There is a reason companies like Google were in the White House everyday.
” I would question where all this money will come from.”
From people not allowed to be in the cast of Hamilton.
I really hate how his employees chant “USA” whenever they accomplish something big.

I don’t know but I hate how SpaceX has already lowered launch costs.
