after 5G mobile it will be satellite based connections and only global companies gonna survive.

Since it takes light about 8 minutes to travel from the sun to earth, I don't think unlimited phone calls to the other side of the galaxy is going to be very useful. Unless Elon has found a way to transfer data faster than the speed of light.

C0D4681387y@Olverine 8 minutes!!!
Fark i would hate to be at the other end of a call on my current speeds then. Probably 1-2 years of delay 😂
On the off chance this is actually true, I googled and maybe it’s real?? I’m signing up day 1 if it can go 1kbps faster then my current shit at those prices 😍 -

I can fucking count.
The prices will not stay there, musk is too optimistic as always. Take that with a truckload of salt because those prices is not going to be a reality. -

By sending up over 4k satelites into low earth orbit and possible make it alot more dangerous to fly up there in the future?
And yes, getting 100Mbit for $29 or even 10Mbit for that price is still good compared to prices in for example australia or island nations in the pacific.
Still, I will be a skeptic as always when Elon says something. -
@Linux If it was off by a factor of 100 and we'd only get 100Mbits for $29 it would still be a far better deal than what I have right now.
I also don't believe in these insane numbers, but competing against the ISPs in some countries won't be hard.
I mean we're talking about companies who offer internet connections labeled "FiberPower" and then have to admit it's just a name and doesn't have anything to do with fiber, and that the prices on their website aren't great but just exclude some costs. -
@Linux communication satellites are typically in geosynchronous orbit, which is really far up.
-
...but there are several companies working on worldwide high speed satelite internet.

BS, companies are way too greedy for this to ever be a thing unless they are doing something else behind the scenes...

But I can't seem to find where the picture he posted came from. Or the prices. Probably just a clever meme. It is happening though.
Here we come 🚀🚀🚀
