Does anyone know? I don’t mean the official Starlink which is apparently not coming here, but Taiwan’s version of it which is being built. Gotta admit I’m pretty jealous of all those abroad who are able to buy starlinks and head into the middle of the mountains with superfast internet.

Looks like some insider local business groups are lobbying hard to try and get a monopoly on satellite services , bs arguments about cybercrime. We have seen this playbook in so many industries here. We need a choice of various satellite providers for defense purposes as well as to lower costs.

I can’t believe some people are pining to let yet another company operated by this clown in. Since some people seem to have forgotten: [image] Elon Musk: Taipei should cede some control to Beijing Taiwan Politics https://edition.cnn.com/2022/10/10/media/elon-…

ASTS never had any planned Blue Origin sendoffs for rest of the year. The one in April in which Blue Origin failed (not ASTS) was a tester. ASTS launching 3 satellites in June on SpaceX and 3 in July. SpaceX doesn’t make any revenue launching its own payloads. It makes U$20-40mn in net profit on st…

[image] CTaitung: ASTS never had any planned Blue Origin sendoffs for rest of the year. Their plan heavily relies on Blue Origin. Only there they can send up to 8 satellites at once. SpaceX can do max 3. They are back in line at Blue Origin and now that line has been delayed further. With S…
