Re: New minimum speed for US broadband connections

Starlink won't have a significant impact anywhere fixed services are a reasonable option. There's just not enough 
capacity available, even with 40k birds.

Good point, but developments in QAM technology benefit both fiber and radio nowadays. Starlink will eventually be 
capable of 10gbit links through... essentially just carrier aggregation to a massive LEO cluster. 

That’s global 10gbit... I’m cautiously optimistic that we will see an incredibly bandwidth rich future, and I’m 
absolutely confident that humanity deserves one.
