As cable TV operators learn to make an impact on their
business, sometimes even by launching their own streaming TV services, the next
stage of the event suddenly hits the horizon and the round is deadly. It is
possible.
SpaceX is set to launch its own high-speed home internet
service this year, promising to reduce the cost of legacy ISPs. While
Telescope's current options for cable companies and the Internet are not
impressive, the new satellite-based broadband system, which is looking to build
with an Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN), appears to be offering customers. Finally
the best chance to differentiate previous types is to provide them with
existing providers.
If consumers hold these low-cost options with both hands -
and why they don't, because this is the point of cutting the cord for everyone
- it's devastating to the old guard.

Enter the class
SpaceX is expected to be outside the gate. There are now
about 175 satellites in orbit, and with a total of 12,000 planned, SpaceX has
dominated Amazon, OneWeb and TelSat, which will begin offering broadband from
space by December.
Last August, the space shuttle company asked the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) to approve the launch of its satellites on
three different orbital planes, as it was originally permitted. By doing so,
SpaceX said it could rapidly populate the sky with more satellites and
"provide coverage for more areas by the end of the storm season." It
said the rest of the US could arrive before the start of next season.
The Atlantic Hurricane Season runs from June 1 to November
30; The Pacific season begins in mid-May.
It is not yet known how much SpaceX's Internet service will
cost, but Elon Musk says the alternative is to provide broadband connectivity
to areas underlined by existing ISPs and reduce costs in more urbanized areas.
It all depends on his definition of "low cost".
Astronauts do not need to apply
Similarly, Amazon plans to build more than 3,200 satellites
in low Earth orbit to help its project, the Kiper Broadband System,
"provide connectivity to untouched and underserved communities
worldwide." Is.
While the FCC has yet to approve them, the e-commerce giant
has hundreds of job openings for the venture, recently posting positions to
several senior hardware, design and electrical engineers, and Amazon suggests
it will be on the ground. When it is a node.
Amazon also predicts that most people will want to sign up
for the service because Jeff Bezos said the company can only do big things. He
told participants at last year's Amazon Global Artificial Intelligence
Conference:
So this project is with Kuiper. This is a very good business
for Amazon because it is a very high [capital cost] venture. It's a
multi-billion-dollar capex ... Amazon is a big company, and all we have to do
now, if they work, is actually move the needle.
Providing broadband service around the world certainly moves
the needle, especially if it is cheap.
Lost in space
Others have also begun to offer a new Internet service -
T-Mobile is launching its LTE-based service, which costs $ 50 per month without
a data cap - and satellite broadband services can be very costly. For existing
providers.
This has forced the thrill of streaming, such as AT&T
and Comcast, to launch their own streaming services, but the next development
of cutting the cord is almost here, and they have an effective mindset to cut
prices, which eats profitability.
SpaceX is trying to reduce its rocket launch rate so that
more satellites can be placed in space and Amazon can accept FCC. Satellite
broadband is still a small, niche, space, but 2020 may be the year that the
Grip breaks free when cable and telcos have internet access.
