AMR_SID claims to be 1.8kbps[1], but I can't imagine it sounds very good. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_Multi-Rate_audio_code...

Globalstar ... edit to add more detail: given Musk's history of unilaterally cancelling some individual's tesla orders, publishing car telemetry to dispute autopilot crash news stories, deciding when, how, and where Ukraine can use Starlink, and now plenty more examples of banning / censoring / downranking people as he sees fit on twitter, I'd prefer not to use a service he provides if i can get comparable capabiliti…
Can you provide details of the order cancellation? That’s a new one. Wasn’t the car telemetry only published because it went to court? Why are you upset with Musk when someone tries to defraud Tesla and they prove them wrong with data? No one else’s telemetry has been published. Meanwhile Uber have “god-mode” and can track every driver globally in realtime… and it was abused to stalk people. SpaceX donated starlinks…
That's easy: people who disagree with his recent political shift. It's extremely obvious, because I see it primarily among the progressives in my circle.

This is such a tired take. Strong leaders are able to marshal engineers to build things like the iPhone, electric cars, reusable rockets. Both Steve Jobs and Elon Musk excelled at this, and just because they're not doing the low level engineering work doesn't mean they don't get any credit. And by all accounts Steve Jobs was extremely involved in the UX design of the original iPhone, and Elon Musk is often involved i…

Another great example would be the "$35k" Tesla, which existed only on paper for years, then was very difficult to order, then was pulled.

What? My wifi barely reaches the other side of my room with a wall in between, how am I supposed to think 350 miles is within reason? Even with clear sky, your signal to a tower an order of magnitude closer would be unusable. If you look at apple’s latest feature, even them, with specific hardware probably, requires minutes of open-sky pointing directly at the closest satellite, to transmit mere bytes of data. That t…
I know nothing of your own situation, but having personally deployed fully working and operational WiFi for a 10000 plus seat stadium, various other campuses, but also seeing cell phones work in your pocket moving in a car or in a big city shopping centre is amazing. Even the Starlink stuff that is already deployed. Anyway let's wait and see - I'm pretty sure T-Mobile wouldn't have signed on for something that is jus…
I'm not saying that it's impossible, I'm just pointing out your smugness at the fact that it's not common knowledge.
> the Starlink stuff
You mean the stuff that requires a large, hot disc on your roof and therefore not in your pocket? Are we talking about the same things there?
> I'm pretty sure T-Mobile wouldn't have signed
You trust big companies too much, they make mistakes all the time.
As a kid I grew up on 2600hz lore and the magic of the blue boxes, all of the witchcraft that went into making those insane switching infrastructures. How the world became so flat so fast is beyond my comprehension.
I was born a child without the Internet. We are now living in an age where the Internet is not only ubiquitous, but now increasingly omnipresent. We are dwelling in a saturation of signals the likes of which our ancestors could only dream of, but here we are today, in a world where we still have food crises, and individual autonomy conspiracies.
We have all of the signal, how do we cut through the noise?
I am excited by the helpers. The people who run towards the action and try to make a difference. The people who are working on healing the world.
Comms are the key to faster interactivity. I am delighted to see our species striving to have easier, faster, lower cost connectivity.

Musk runs his businesses like a dictator. Well, OK, it's no secret multi billion companies is not where socialists go to hide. But he can't have it both ways: if he chooses to run his companies this way, he can't complain we pin the bad stuff on him. He is not only responsible, also clearly involved in making those choices and decisions.
I think part of my point is: In the context of each of his businesses, there isn’t really much bad stuff, in fact his businesses are much better across most metrics than his competitors. Twitter might be the exception here because its early days.

Odd that it's not mentioned in the article as this is probably the most ambitious proposal in this area.
It is mentioned in the article. > Splashy announcements of satellite-cellular connectivity from Apple, Starlink, and T-Mobile in the third quarter of 2022 promoted the idea of anywhere, any-kind connectivity.
