We do not need a constellation. We do not need more space junk.
We need fibre everywhere.
Eat your fibres, everyone.
Fibre is not going to get us up north.
Maybe when we get 6g and our avian bird flu boosters we can get 6g access through our minds π€―
/s due to it being utterly insane, but I recognize Poe's law is alive more than ever now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law
Similar problems with fibre to all of Australia. It's just not feasible for small remote communities.
There are solutions for the far arctic that aren't high density mesh networks polluting low earth orbit.
Yes there are such solutions, but for remote regions without infrastructure and with high build out and operating/maintenance costs for terrestrial technology, I suspect that the most cost effective solution that we can achieve in a timely fashion is probably LEO, like Lightspeed or Starlink. Particularly since Canada has half a century of experience building satellite systems.
Managing LEO debris and congestion is not an insurmountable challenge.
If we must have a satellite it should be a single geostationary one.
