In the '80s, satellite comms showed promise – soon it'll be a viable means to punt internet services at anyone anywhere

However you look at it…

It potentially represents exciting times for anyone who is either i) living in a not spot or ii) nomadic and sometimes/often in areas without coverage. This could be like GSM. I was lucky enough to first be in Mumbai, and later in Nairobi when the networks were new and we could see that transition between mobile phones being for the few and then for the many. The between period where you can see how the technology can improve the life of the taxi driver or courier (and later relegate them to Uber and Deliveroo, if we let it happen), It really can give a lift to the people at the bottom.
