I pay monthly to keep my Starlink in a box and ready to deploy. It’s fast and I could use it but I do too much internet stuff to let it be my sole connection
In telecom I would call it a new network. Does this new network interface with the WWW?
It is tough for some to understand but I am sure many here can. Every traditional telecom has their own network. One definition is ILEC or CLEC.
Then we have companies that used to want private networks in between physical offices via something like MPLS.
I am skipping tons — there is a thing also called transport. Like if a telecom wants to dump a lot of traffic to another carrier (like using a train on train tracks) across the country or world.
What is a big thing now is called SDWAN - this is sold as “private” but it is riding over “public” to a orchestrator then the orchestrator will send packets to/from where they belong—however PUBLIC is the transport. This keeps the cost down over MPLS which is true private and not software (coding) dependent on being called private.
So these satellites are just another network but if you use those and goto gmail it will still be public internet.
Unless …
If you use Starlink and when connected to Starlink you can not see gmail.
Even if Elon makes gmail install a new head to connect to starlink — gmail using many forms of protocols can still be on the public internet.
……
The USA military however could be setup where only they use Starshield and they implement a protocol only for them. All new everything.
For the civilians wanting their door dash while connected to Starlink.
I make sense only if you can understand how the internet uses private networks and an an agreement on protocols.
Like if you use starlink and trace route to 8.8.8.8 all those hops are going thru different private networks that often are hidden beneath names like ATT. To add you only see hood but transport gear is not going to respond… that is where they can mirror stuff and store packets.
Movies made people believe the bugs are installed at the homes when it is not. Not for old school POTS or new IP driven stuff.
SDWAN is sold as private but it utilizes the public internet for transport—so for instance our voting systems… this is how they claim it is private because the definition of SDWAN says it is private. Yet if you understand how it flows it is using the public and just because of that it is exposed to the whole world.
A whole new Internet?
One controlled by white hats that can't be taken down by the deep state?
That's what I'm thinking too. And new money backed by gold. Put the federal reserve and big tech out of business.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Make no mistake, The internet, google, twit, facebook. They are all weapons.
Does anybody really think our government would loose any of these weapons to anyone? Musk is not what many are saying he is.
Does anybody think our government has the competence to keep them ?
The implications of this are enormous.
This seems like a pretty big deal.
Maybe I’m just hitting the hopium today, but this really does seem like a big, positive indication.
This feels like one of the most visible and consequential responsibilities given to Space Force thus far, with potentially huge global implications.

I take mine camping
It's pretty good
It’s all I use living in the sticks…it’s the best we’ve ever had out here.
Hows the ping? Still a huge delay like any other satellite ISP?
Best I’ve had….had dishnet, and viasat….speed beats them all. It’s basically immediate. We have YouTube tv and movie channels….no delay.
Why not just load-balance it with your existing connection?
There are relatively cheap routers that'll do that for you and you have the added benefit of faster and more reliable Internet.
You're paying for it anyway, may as well use it..
What am I missing here? What's star shield?

Of course it cant be used for combat. Because people would call it star wars. And thats just cheesey
Coooo...... Giant Voice and ODIN?
Careful he doesn't fire the photon torpedoes
