[Starlink] Alphabet spins off Starlink competitor Taara

[Eric Kuhnke]

There are promising advancements in outdoor 802.11ay based 60 GHz equipment
(particularly the ones that can use the very top end of the 60 GHz band,
directly underneath 71 GHz, which is less affected by rain and atmosphere
than the rest of it). However, the stuff from Ubiquiti has been buggy and
troublesome to put it in the mildest and most polite terms possible. Not
something I would trust for production traffic.
