kilometers. In an order published last week, the FCC wrote: “SpaceX may no
this doesn't make sense to me. The ISS can go as low as 360km before they
get a boost back to a higher orbit, but the starlink satellites they are denying
will all be lower than that (and worst case, they can force SpaceX to pay for a
few additional reboost missions over the next 6 years before
To elon´s comment - for gaming, consistent latency is more important
than low latency. Most game netcode can compensate for a consistent
range of rtts in the 20-100ms range, but not jitter in that range or
beyond. Certainly consistently low latency is great for gaming (vr/ar)
also, and a big benefi
