That’s true and I even thought about trying to investigate one of their satellites bandwidth capabilities versus one starlink satellite before I commented. But ultimately it doesn’t really matter because we’re talking about them being a rival to starlink so In the context of this conversation, they need to match their capacity and capabilities in all aspects to be a worthy rival.

Aptera, what I’m waiting for. They claim they will have all parts available online for easy repairs, and IMO it’s just a really cool car concept.

You’re correct but their LEO constellation is over 10x smaller than Starlink, so they’ve still got a lot of catching up to do.

They are doing much better than other fabled starlink competitors though, like amazon kuiper which is still not a real thing after all this time.

I don’t think there was ever any solid proof Ross tried to do that.
