Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Nothing different to what Elon Musk is already doing.
Starlink, (the SpaceX constellation) is planning for over 1,500 satellites by end of 2020, they already have 120 in place and propose launching 60 every fortnight starting late December. I notice there is no mention of speed ,latency or price from Amazon although Starlink is looking at 1Gb with 25-30ms latency for around $80. Who knows what the final figures will be or who will be the first. Elon has the edge though.;) |

Worth its own thread, I think.

United Kingdom SpaceX Starlink User Receives Internet Download Speed Of 430Mbps.
Upload isn't that good atm. That said there's 270 newly launched starlin V's moving to orbit that will have their interconnect lasers turned on. https://www.tesmanian.com/blogs/tesm...ed-kingdom-430 |
Re: LEO satellite broadband
I wonder if/when all these low orbit satellites will start bumping into each other.
And do they burn up if they fall back to earth ? |
Re: LEO satellite broadband
Apparently, they have a planned five year life, and are designed to completely burn up on re-entry (after orbit degradation).

Nearly all satellites are aimed at Point Nemo in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, so any thing that survives to 3,000c entry has a safe crash zone. |
