Lol. In what fantasy land? You mean the space trash that'll cause a rocket or shuttle explosion (if we restart the program)? Please! The prime real estate for satellites is already saturated and it'll get worse with time. Running underwater cables is much easier and you don't have the constraints of flying over a particular area in space at all times. Besides, you ever heard of orbit? Those satellites move and while the "link" is a noble idea, it's not a reliable and steady source of data transfer. Finally, light travels faster than any other manmade form, hence fiber optics are and will always be superior. Don't be a tesla fan person and do some research.

First of all its is expensive there. 2nd its stupid cheap here. In cities its actually pretty good where I am its just in parts of the city its bad. Partly because its so cheap. Needs to be a balance

[@koilamaoh4238]

Internet can be cheap the real issue is, infrastructure and "density" of human population, the better dense area of humans, = cheaper internet, while you do need competitors, as well as your government pitching in their own internet. Different countries offer offer 10gpbs under 30$ due to better density/infrastructure. .. While 1gbps unlimited would cost me about $300 a month from comcast(USA)which I had, I didn't use it much, thought I need it. Now I pay 100$ month, which is still expensive but speedy as hell. While there are cheaper plans for slower internet, which I avoid tho hehe. Plus countries still need to "modernize" with the times, as a lot of countries still need to even out in their economy, as "capitalism" tends to help out these poorer countries or what you call globalism. As india itself has its own silicon valley just as Cali has, while outskirts of india can be very poor, just as to china is poor, while mainland can be very rich.

So if the fiber optic cables transmit at 100,000 miles per second and radio waves transmit at 186,000 miles per second. Will wireless tech be where we end up when it comes to connecting the world? And will the cables just be more junk eventually?

[@jambajukebox]

no, radio waves can be altered or jammed. You cannot jam a fibre optic cable without physical access to it.

[@Dhavalshah]

To all the people talking about starlink they need fiber connected base stations on ground from where the internet is sent to the sattllites then to the peoples home dish antenna

[@habibaghasafari2237]

You can build data centres right next to the base stations or build base stations right next to the existing data centres. This obviously will take some time and will not happen overnight. But slowly, the connection between data centres and people will be mostly over Startling or cellular networks. This means it will not be economical to lay new cables and fibre and they will eventually become obsolete.
