Direct-to-Cell Is the Riskiest Bet in Satellite Internet
Turning an ordinary phone into a satellite terminal is the most ambitious promise in orbital connectivity — and the one most constrained by physics.
The Coming Fight Over Low Earth Orbit
As constellations multiply, the binding constraints on satellite internet are shifting from rockets and radios to orbital slots, spectrum rights, and collision risk.
