I'd like to address Starlink concern. I'm not going to say that Starlink isn't a competitor, because it is. However, to say that Starlink is the end all be all and that Aradatum stands absolutely no chance against is wrong.

Do you know that it costs 600 dollar upfront to buy the equipment necessary in order to run Starlink? On top of that it costs 110 dollars a month for service thereafter. That is double what average internet costs per month. If Aradatum can undercut those prices and provide the same quality of services who in their right mind would choose Starlink? Buzz Lightyear? Maybe. Let's also address latency. This is how fast signal travels from the device providing internet to the device using the internet. This doesn't matter for many people, but it does for some. Starlink can never beat Aradatum in this department, because it's all the way in the space where as Aradatum towers are on the ground. How about reliability? Heavy snow or rain? There could be slowed speeds or downtime. Or about the dish being chewed on by your friendly squirrel, ran over, or smashed by a tree? Not a problem with Aradatum.

Also, there have been several concerns raised about Musk sending the Satellites into orbit. One of those is collisions with other Satellites. This has already almost happened with a Chinese Satellite! I can see the headlines now "Musk Sparks War with China". In all seriousness, this is no joking matter, google kessler syndrome. Meanwhile, Aradatum's towers are safe and sound on the ground. Another concern is further pollution of the atmosphere. Isn't Musk supposed to be saving the planet? Meanwhile, Aradatum takes pollution away by generating power for electric vehicles. How does an asteroid smashing into your house sound? Well, if Musk has his way that just might happen. Nasa fears that his satellites could interfere with telescopes ability to see incoming asteroids, and therefore our ability to divert them. I know Aradatum towers are big, but they aren't blocking any telescopes. All of these problems with just under 1,500 of his satellites in orbit and he wants to bring that total up 40,000!

Musk has been able to deploy Starlink quickly, but he also possess a huge amount of capital. I do not like that the Aradatum team has been silent since the model video, but let's give them some time to work.
