Yes there are such solutions, but for remote regions without infrastructure and with high build out and operating/maintenance costs for terrestrial technology, I suspect that the most cost effective solution that we can achieve in a timely fashion is probably LEO, like Lightspeed or Starlink. Particularly since Canada has half a century of experience building satellite systems.
Managing LEO debris and congestion is not an insurmountable challenge.
Buddy, I'm an aero eng. There are lots of ways to get satellites in polar orbits.
Why didn't you look at the actual Lightspeed site from Telesat? Why would you pick a random paper? The Telesat site explains how they get coverage in polar regions.
Fibre is not going to get us up north.
Why bother paying anything? Let it go to court. Threatening annexation should fall under some kind of hostilities clause, national security clause, or force majeure clause. Anyway who's going to collect?
The US government can pay ~~MD~~ Lockheed, they're the ones who threatened annexation.
Edit... Fixed above, not sure why I had MacDonell Douglas on my mind...strange substitution for a company that no longer exists under that name.
Thank you. Fixed it.
He likes the X because the ASCII code is 88, which is a number of note among neo-Nazis because it stands for HH, or Heil Hitler. I'm now convinced of this. The coincidence is too strong to overlook.
Copped a permaban on reddit when I started taking about the Luigivolution, lamenting the current nightmare because some numpty couldn't properly set his windage, insisting that Nazi lives don't matter, and finally changing my nym to DutifullyPunchingNazis. I guess somewhere in there was the final straw.
The brain fart of the deal.
Invite the rich for dinner. For one.
I don't need r/Conservative as an argument for my hate. Listen to Rogan, or read any one of the dozens of other threads at that sub. Or even look a bit deeper in that post.
Terrestrial solutions for remote areas typically have excessive build out and maintenance costs.
Engineers will do a tradeoff and select the most suitable solution given the criteria. It's very easy to underestimate costs, particularly over the entire lifetime of the system.
