I thought they are already something like this? I clearly remember when I used satellite internet on Cruise ship.

*There
Fuck autocorrect

Turn that shit off

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. This doesn't even deserve a thread here. Sage.

Reliable and high bandwidth satellite internet depends on high-wattage directional transmission from the earth station, and even then the actual speed is limited by the speed of light. Also, what the fuck does
>connected to each others using fiber optic cables
mean?

>>62350697
Were the satellites connected via fibers?
Y'know, over a total length longer than the diameter of the earth? Completely feasible.

And they would also have to be curved too, because if the satellite is in a circular orbit and the cable is connected in a straight line to another satellite, then I can guarantee it will have all sorts of weird effects on the orbits of the satellites and they would most likely end up reentering and burning up.

Genius indeed.

This is the same guy who "invented" IPv10
So clearly a genius

Such thing existed since 1999, it isn't publicly known, can't remember name of project...
I saw a talk about it, on defcon, maybe, or fosdem or ccc... Well it's not new.

Even few years ago a couple of russian hackers used satellites for one of their hacks. It's convenient, they can be tracked only as close as 3000km radius area
