This article is quite interesting. I was just reading through trying to figure out exactly how many miles of cable were laid and I came across this quote.
"We don't use satellites because they can't carry terabytes of data for less than a billion dollars per communication line."
Satellites are fake ISS is a lie k thx bai
Whoever said that satellites were used for broadband internet?
They are not used for exactly the reason given
"because they can't carry terabytes of data" at a reasonable cost.
BUT satellites ARE used for direct broadcast TV, GPS, Satellite Phone to remote areas and Internet (not very broadband) to remote areas.
Yes, I have used satellite phones (while travelling in outback Australia, hundreds of kilometres away from the nearest phone tower) and satellite internet access (a few times on board ship).
Communications satellites (as used for direct broadcast TV, phone and internet) are normally in Geosynchronous orbits (though the Iridium phone satellites are in lower orbits) and in high latitudes the signals can be blocked by mountains. I have noted that in the Norwegian Fjords.
Your fatuous reasoning is not the slightest evidence against satellites.
Makes about as much sense as saying that FA-18s cannot carry large numbers of passengers hence FA-18s are fake!
Try again!
