Sounds like a job for Space Force. Actually, I'm a little confused. Will these LEO sats be 5G? What good are they if they aren't 5G? How are we going to get remote surgery and self-driving vehicles without 5G?
I wish these big corporations would make up their minds, do I need a small cell 1000 feet away because <reasons>, or do I need thousands of satellites whizzing overhead 50 miles up? Seems like polar opposites, but apparently we gotta have 'em. -----Original Message----- From: AF <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Robert Andrews Sent: Thursday, April 4, 2019 7:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Real threat And one more Indian anti-sat test to turn it all into chaff...
