The direct site that they were advertising for 1.2 million or so looked compact enough to stuff into a a C130 transport plane and drop onto a providers network anywhere, almost overnight, to provide 10Gbit(?) service. I did not get the dimensions of it, but... >> We've seen SpaceX being willing to donate dishy > > kits, but being able to spread the hotspot island out from direct wifi > > range of > > the dishy to be able to cover a larger area would be worth quite a bit (and > > don't forget the need for power for the system) Given that typical usage at ISP peak is about an average of 5Mbit/sec per household today, mostly driven by 1/6th the users watching netflix, and starlink achieving download speeds regularly of 300Mbit... If movie quality is to be compromised to old fashioned 1.5Mbit 720P, 200 households - that can be served by local fiber, wireless bridges, even 5G, per terminal, over that 70 miles per cell. For some of the 2B that have nothing today. Early on I had hoped starlink would enable "a village" to have telephony and local internet services spread out from there, much like they did in the 90s. Additional fiber/wireless bridges can expand that island outside the cell. It remains unclear to me how many terminals can be stuffed efficiently together. > > > > David Lang_______________________________________________ > > Starlink mailing list > > Starlink@lists.bufferbloat.net > > https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/starlink > > > > -- > https://blog.cerowrt.org/post/2024_predictions/ > Dave Täht CSO, LibreQos -- https://blog.cerowrt.org/post/2024_predictions/ Dave Täht CSO, LibreQos _______________________________________________ Starlink mailing list Starlink@lists.bufferbloat.net https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/starlink
