Sorry for this shallow comment but I've read the title several times now, my mind races to the same thought:
>...to sell wireless high-speed internet from space!
"I wish them wild success, it's promising to see the opportunity for disruption of our telcom mafia as wireless comms tech evolves, but selling internet from space... total horseshit! Success or not, most space internet subscriptions will be sold from a call center in India." /s
Please consider my apologies. I was taken aback by you're reply. It was not my intention to express bigotry but I thoughtlessly offered an unintelligible attempt at poor pedantic humor absent of context and comedy. You replied quickly and so I choose not to delete it.
I enjoy watching this technology as it moves to become an available option. The article is 9 sentences of an information scarce announcement, but as is often the case, I returned here to find plenty of useful information in these comments. Interestingly, ATSC 3.0 which is packet based and already overflowing with DRM now looks to be nearing a consensus. As early as 2020 (US) it could prove to satisfy enough content distribution traffic to reduce some downstream bandwidth demand and relieve congestion. SpaceX in partnership with ATT or CenturyLink for dedicated up-link over DSL would be an interesting offering.
