Sometimes we gotta take risks. Even if we lose. We’ll see what happens, but I’m not holding my breath.
The only thing that gives me a little hope is the growing demand needs for internet bandwidth - thus the growing need for redundant internet. Eg. maybe cellular (5G) is a primary source, but if it goes down, the digital world still needs to turn. So perhaps the airborne wireless network could serve as a secondary (or tertiary) infrastructure source of bandwidth?
