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 mailto:[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...

So I guess what I'm saying is technology doesn't sell, marketing sells, and it all depends on who they partner with to actually sell service to end customers. Also of course they are not the only company doing this. OneWeb for example. SpaceX has the advantage of having their own launch service and being able to piggyback on other payloads. *From:* AF mailto:[email protected] *On Behalf Of *Chuck McCown *Sent:* Wednesday, March 20, 2019 12:09 PM *To:* [email protected] *Subject:* [AFMUG] Real threat Or is the sky falling? https://www.reddit.com/r/Starlink/comments/7zqm2c/starlink_faq/ -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
