Submarine cables account for the majority of the world's internet traffic, but as concerns over malicious actors moving to cripple or interfere with internet infrastructure increase, the European Union has a number of its own projects underway, underpinned by hidden political dynamics.

I also take yewtu.be channels facts with a grain of salt. saw this on Mastodon, thought to share: apparently not up to standard. thank you for clearing this up
a lot of big pharma is complicit.
well in fact there are multiple sat trains over the northern hemisphere lol ( and some on the south), according to the online sat tracker. apparently those trains help mitigate peak hour bandwidth usage, but i dont know better. still, thats an abnormal sight to have.
yea, after much thought, i doubt starlink to be yet profitable in africa
well starlink sats run on solar too, no ? which makes them a sustainable choice too over fiber. and scientists can get their rich countries to fund orbital observatories also ? but SpaceX can be proactive in this regard also and deactivate some starlink sats in certain timeframes over certain regions to allow research. its kind of mixed up situation.
well african people get accessible internet, at the expense of scientific research. which one would be more relevant to humanity? one might ask..
well polluting earth orbit with parasite radio frequencies is in SpaceX business model favor: that way the scientific communtiy well be obliged to have observatories beyond starlink orbit (ie Leo i think), so u would have to create ur cluster of radio astronomy satellites and would have to contract SpaceX to deliver them for you to the intended orbit..just a guess but one would think this way, since every company is profit driven after all.
Hydrogen is the future. Electric is stupid and too expensive. like the price of teslas that subsidized the supercharger network, Hydrogen car prices need to include a sort of subsidy allocated for H2 production scaling, to accelerate the transition, and early adopters drive down the cost for next H2 car buyers, but at some point corps need to be taxed to drive further sales.
