So, really... nothing new for SAT Internet. Thanks for the update. By the way, KZfaq put 5+ mins of unskipable ads on this Video watched at YT on a desktop. 2+ mins at the start and 3+ mins near the end. I've not seen that before.

Excellent well thought out update, I watched every minute of it, thank you for putting it together. It’s super frustrating that cell providers have not doubled or tripled the number of towers. In 2024 there’s no excuse for not having coverage. Looking forward to what Apple does next and to the direct SAT to cell service which are the most convenient solution. Cheers from Seattle!

@MobileInternetResourceCenter Ай бұрын

The carriers have no incentive to install towers where there aren't enough customers to support them. And most probably want some areas of the country left pristine without towers - or other signs of civilization - lining otherwise all natural beauty.

@aviatorman8 Ай бұрын

@@MobileInternetResourceCenter govt should intervene and empower them to service all areas. Lives were lost in the Cascade Mountains from the lack of cell service. Major mountain highways and passes are still without service 🙃

@MobileInternetResourceCenter Ай бұрын

This is where T-Mobile & Starlink , and Apple's satellite initiatives will assist to provide coverage in such remote areas where having cell towers is just not feasible.

2 conclusions : 1. Starlink has no competition for the next 5 years. 2. Best combo is Starlink-T-mobile-Apple. It gives you the best of all worlds. At least for the next 5 years. Competition will be good and healthy. But profitability is also key. The big 3 I mentioned all have big pockets. So if reliability and longevity are important, than that’s what I’d go with. I already use apple and T-Mobile and will be getting the HD dish for my sailboat in the Caribbean.

Reading between the lines. It seems that the companies that offer satellite messaging devices, like Spot, are the ones that need to be worried. Why would anyone carry a second device and pay a monthly fee for something that is built into their phone and current plan?

@gstar7686 5 ай бұрын

The only way Project Kuiper is going to be able to get the required number of satellites up is with the help of SpaceX.

@MobileInternetResourceCenter 5 ай бұрын

Indeed - Amazon has already signed a contract to use SpaceX for launch services. I am sure Jeff Bezos hated signing that check!

This video is focused on the new and next-gen things in the pipeline - we have covered Iridium before over at The Mobile Internet Resource Center. Also - the companion article to this video has a small section on Iridium’s Project Stardust, which is the next interesting evolution coming from Iridium. Check it out - do you think Stardust is interesting?

We do not follow what you are asking. APN is used for cellular, not satellite. For Starlink you need a Starlink dish.

Starlink will take a beating from whom? OneWeb, the biggest competitor is slowing down deployment of their V2 sats with 3-5x capacity. To make a profit (not yet acheived) they Need these... but they were bought out (again) and the new owner is trying to save money on deployment (pushing back the day they will become profitable. The V2 is also the version to have laser interlinks... so they have to bounce the signal up and down or pay ISPs to handle most of the milage. Kuiper has no operational satellites in orbit and has only 28 months to launch 1650 sats to keep its FCC license and has about 80 flights booked on barely operational or non operational rockets forcing Amazon to overrule Bezos and book 3 F9 flights to get Something off the ground. Most of the others are foundering or taking a breath or have no plan as yet to compete on a large scale. The GSO sat networks have low bandwidth and high (20x) latency issues. Spacex is actually making money on Starlink and has more operational capacity that all the others combined and its growing rapidly with Starship set to unlock explosive growth in 2025. They are also the only ISP to do more than tinker with Direct cell to satellite comms for voice and text. At this point, they are the only satellite network that will likely have substantial regions with this new service within the next 3 years. If you meant the FCC/FAA/DOJ (Biden admin) would be harassing them ... well Yes. They do seem to be OK unilaterally rewriting Spacex contracts, obstructing Starship launches and giving unvetted aliens access to sensitive military tech (DOJ lawsuit against Spacex... gotta love in-your-face corruption. Still not sure why DOJ was not slapped with espionage charges).

@@avgjoe5969 You clearly misunderstood my comment which stated that any competitor will have to run very fast to catch it up. Maybe wherever you live in the world the phrase 'it will take a lot of beating' is unfamiliar to you.
