The Starlink service density piece reminded me of a video you linked in edition 234 "How Cell Service Actually Works". In that video they mentioned in the early days "only 32 people in a city could use their cell phones simultaneously". We've come a long way since then
It feels like we think about technology as a single S curve when it's really S curves on top of S curves. We were supposed to witness the death of Moore's law, peak oil etc. Just when you get to the flat part of the curve we find some new discovery. Directional drilling and fracking, EUV lithography...........
I know less than nothing about he topic and may be wrong for reasons obvious to an expert, but I wonder if we look back in 5 years and have an order of magnitude more users in a service area than we thought possible today. Human ingenuity never ceases to amaze me.
Liberty, this episode has so much good stuff in it, I am still working through it 3 days later!!

I think you'd find this interesting given that you provide great commentary on Amazon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8Jk7zuwOxg&ab_channel=BreakingPoints
