    It’ll be interesting to see what the Canadian telesat LEO system will be capable of. They’re supposed to be launching satellites next year and are using a higher orbit so will need much fewer satellites than starlink.

      But sadly increased latency. Also don’t hold your breath on Canada telecom anything, we have a history of being the worst at it.

        I don’t mind a bit more latency (should still be nicely below 100ms) but my use case is more related to mid-Atlantic mobile connectivity than remote region broadband.

        Their planned implementation just seems much better than others with beam shaping, linked satellites and less than 200 satellites to maintain and replace.

        Although you’re not wrong about our telecom track record…
