Who needs food and clean drinking water when you can have Internet.

Democratization of communication resources substantially helps other facets. I hate this sort of knee jerk whataboutism. Aid can and should be multifaceted.

Orrrrrrrr…hear me out…

We ALL just stop. We say no to these overinflated bundle prices, we say no to corporate censorship, we say no to the human trafficing. Elon musk will have paid 43 BILLION dollars for…nothing.

The router crashed will become far more literal than it previously was.

Problem is that a lot of that remaining third live in countries where the state will actively try to destroy the air craft to keep their people insulated from the wider global internet

(FIXED)The vast majority of our stratosphere isn’t polluted by satellites - airborne communications stations will change that

Apart from space junk, satellites have massive carbon footprint.

Doesnt starlink solve this?

cmnybo ,

Yes and there is also OneWeb and eventually Kuiper.

One man controlling access to a sizable percentage of the world’s internet access doesn’t solve much.

I think there are a lot of ways this is technologically solvable. Imho this is an economic challenge, not a technological one.

This problem seems like it was already solved using satellites.

The only real niche I see for this is during natural disasters, which could get a cell network back online in a limited capacity. But even then, it seems like it would be cheaper to just run some more diesel out to the cell towers’ backup generators.

The issue with that is getting information in and out of the disaster area. It’s all well and good having a cell tower online, if the back haul network is down.

Technology like this would, in theory, be able to reach outside the disaster area and get clear communication with the outside world.
