“Been wondering if Musk’s private Space X company will one day launch small multichannel privately owned communication satellites linked with secure servers which will allow free speech and communications that at least big tech couldn’t censor.”
All of Elon’s recent actions (leaving California) and statements (move from WhatsApp to Signal) indicates a man very frustrated by Big Brotherism, either public or private. StarLink might just get us to where we need to be.
Awesome. ATT had phased out a ‘tunnel’ system I had wanted to buy. It also negated the need for cell towers.
I kept wondering why. But a satellite net makes a LOT of sense. Far more efficient than tower networks. My cell tower keeps malfunctioning multiple times a year. The maintenance cost must be pretty high. Lame signal too.
And a tunnel (ferentol? I forget the name) is a lot bulkier than a phone.
