What <br>
are they looking to do with this 'integration'? I can integrate my starlink just <br>
like any other ISP.<br>
<br>
or are they looking at the 'cell phones to orbit' functionality thats due to <br>
roll out very suddently<br>
<br>
or are they looking for "intergration" as another way to say "force SpaceX to <br>
open the specs for Starlink and allow other user terminals to interact with the <br>
Starlink satellites?<br>
<br>
The cynic in me says it's the latter.<br>
<br>
long term it may make sense to do this to some degree, but we are WAY too early <br>
to define "Interoperability Standards" and block people from coming up with <br>
better ways to do things.<br>
<br>
the Apple vs SpaceX cellphone-to-satellite have completely different ways of <br>
operating, and who wants to tell all the Apple people that their way isn't going <br>
to be the standard (or worse, that it is and they have to give everyone else the <br>
ability to use their currently proprietary protocol)<br>
