Great article! Another interesting development within the industry is the rapid adoption of satellite internet connection through Starlink. I interact with remote communities often and have seen the service proliferate virtually everywhere it's offered at surprising speed.

Thanks!

Oh yeah, LEO satellite is going to be interesting, though the need to constantly launch new satellite and recycle the old ones seems to be capital intensive that only visionary like Elon can handle.

I am curious to see whether fixed mobile broadband vs. LEO is gonna win the rural market, but that's not a big market anyways. Starlink is prudently focusing on the commercial aviation market, because we can't live with those GOGO stuff forever.
