Re:Apple has a secret team working on internet satellites by BiteCode_dev on Saturday December 21, 2019 @05:41AM (#21850686)
I don't think it's going to be a fairly high price point. Satellites are becoming commodities, Space X drove the price of launching down, and with the current technologies a small computer can process a lot, especially if you don't have to care about heat dissipation. Quite the contrary, you don't need to construct many towers in cities to get coverage, with all the legal burdens that implies and all the maintenance it requires. You will cover a much broader space, so your potential customer base is bigger for the investment, and you can even cover places that would have not been before. In fact, you can even have better signal for moving people like in trains, cars or... boats and planes !

Of course this is all speculations, but it has a lot of potential.
