Good piece on the physics of D2D, with everyone emphasizing it won't penetrate buildings like terrestrial does (which Starlink admits too, with only AST #cluelesscult members still in denial) www.fierce-network.com/wireless/mwc...
Which company claims to have a whole bunch of F9 launches planned over the next 12 months but never meets their planned schedule for satellite delivery? Maybe the #cluelesscult know?
Actually this is exactly what the #cluelesscult do, they even have a red A symbol to show they are in the cult...
Too bad the millions in the Cheeto’s cult are clueless.
#CluelessCult
The #cluelesscult have no idea when someone gives them the actual explanation, despite AST's patent actually discussing this patents.google.com/patent/US109...
Meanwhile the #cluelesscult continue to demonstrate that they know nothing about satellite design and instead just make up nonsense...
Of course the #cluelesscult don't understand anything about satellite design, but this confirms lots of interesting detail, including the massive heat dissipation issues which is why the satellite mass has increased so much
You can't make this up: now the #cluelesscult believes the FPGA-based satellites were never intended for commercial service...
Now the #cluelesscult makes up nonsense about secret DoD payloads and crosslinks (to what?) that AST isn't telling the FCC about (but expects to be approved in a month)...
It's hard to comprehend the sheer idiocy of the #cluelesscult. After years of claiming AST's bent pipe system is superior to Starlink's crosslinks, now they claim OISLs are "all the right moves" and represent a "massive efficiency unlock" for AST...
Gregg with a double "g" has no idea that he can leave his house and move around easier out it in public because of DEI. Further, he doesn't realize that he is actually a DEI hire. #CluelessCult #DumbedDown
This is highly amusing because almost every single point is wrong. Bloom took Ray Leopold’s self-serving narrative that everything would have been fine with a bit more time and a bit more money. But it wasn’t true… #cluelesscult
Alternatively, the more press I see like this coming from competitors (who actually understand satellite engineering and propagation), the more I think that the #cluelesscult might not be telling the truth…
LOL, the #cluelesscult choose not to believe AT&T’s own map and instead cite a slide that says they’ll get “near” (*not* full) nationwide coverage by using satellite *in addition* to the “~3M square miles” covered terrestrially (CONUS is 3.12M sq mi)
How many people are going to pay a subscription fee for that on a monthly basis? #cluelesscult investors.att.com/~/media/File...
The #cluelesscult doesn’t understand that D2D using terrestrial spectrum won’t happen in the EU for years if ever, it’s going to be restricted to MSS spectrum due to concerns about cross-border interference
If the #cluelesscult had any wits or could do math, they’d be scared witless by this math, since it shows that without charging an enormous premium per GB, none of AST’s revenue projections make sense
