Armies tend to fight the last war, the last battle, and the last skirmish. The all-hands was exclusively focused on all the cool ways we solve......yesterday's problem. We're already in a world where gobs of capacity are available and further expanding. StarLink will have about 200-300 Tbps in orbit by end of 2024. If we just look at CONUS, about 2-4% of that capacity is available for use which is 4-12 Tbps which overwhelms our 1 Tbps capacity for flight 2 in 2025.
We're entering a world where capacity is a plentiful commodity. We're solving yesterday's problem and fighting yesterday's battle bc we missed the LEO disruption and remain stuck with constrained GEO capacity. At StarLink's and Kuiper's capacity, all the optimization brilliance discussed today isn't as important. They are flooding the market with capacity. Our past battle strategy won't be effective in the new world.
I need leaders to talk to us about fighting the next battles to keep hope alive.
