But it is more like a backbone link for remote areas rather than a direct uplink to make transactions.
I wonder what their strategy has been around launching satellites, and if they need to be single purpose built. Building and launching satellites can be a very expensive endeavor. I wonder if they could partner with a company like Globalstar, which already has something like 24 state-of-the-art, LEO satellites already in orbit. Globalstar (GSAT) also has an exclusive license on a good slice of spectrum in the 2.4Ghz band (11.5 MHz of spectrum between 2483.5 MHz and 2495 Mhz), and was working on a deal for terrestrial wi-fi. |

I wonder if they could partner with a company like Globalstar, which already has something like 24 state-of-the-art, LEO satellites already in the air.

I might be wrong but I don't think they have been "launching" any satellite but using transponders of already in orbit satellites. So yes, it is just a matter of deals. |

This will be a Fiat race tomorrow. In Europe today is public holiday so no banks are working. I´am expecting loads of money flooding the exchanges tomorrow  This would be a nice dip to buy... Where in Europe? no public holiday here in the Netherlands. I guess it´s Austria, Germany, France, Italy, switzerland and Belgium at least... |

Catholic countries have holiday, protestants not, so Belgium plus the south. |

Look up BitSat. That idea is from 2014/15. |

Oh gotcha. Yeah makes sense. Such amazing genius and talent over there at Blockstream! So what has Roger Ver's camp been dreaming up to expand Bitcoin into the future? Oh yeah, that's right. Changing a single config line in the code to 8mb and calling it revolutionary. /facepalm |

There's this new altcoin named fiat, I heard they take it at every store. With such wide acceptance it's a clear winner.

This is one of those usage cases. And it's way cheaper than in the past. |

It is dropping because it saw it was to high for it's own good. With no real improvement for all this increase it had to fall some time. |

And with an infinite supply it assures that everyone will have some. Yay! It doesn't have the inconvenience of needing cold storage. It comes pre-held by trusted 3rd parties. They'll even let you spend it before you earn it if you pay them compound interest. |
