Subsea Cables & Internet Infrastructure

This article shows that if Starlink deploys a massive network consisting of 42,000 1.5 terabit satellites, it yields only 83 megabits throughput per square kilometer. In contrast, ITU 5G standards require 5 megabits minimum per m2. Most 5G networks aim for 400 megabits throughput per kilometer. Moreover, water covers 71% of the Earth. This means that actual user consumptionn will be a fraction of 83 megabits. This in turn pretty much guarantees massive satellite excess capacity, and consequently, long term price wars as the Chinese, Europeans, and Amazon enter the market. The earth's surface exceeds 500 million square kilometers. Moreover, LEO satellites must be evenly distributed in orbit to ensure global coverage. The result is that a 1 terabit down Starlink satellite does not carry as much punch per kilometer as SpaceX enthusiasts and groupies believe. A 42 petabit (42,000 V3) satellite constellation divided by 500 million square kilometers equals only10 bits per meter.  Doesn...
