Sunday Boredom. Is Starlink an attempt to block the One World Internet or is it just another pawn on the board?

The satellite, AMOS-6, was a project of Facebook's Internet.org program to deliver internet to the developing world. It was intended to ride a SpaceX Falcon 9 into orbit this Saturday, and would have been the first satellite the internet giant put in orbit.

In 2013, the social network announced Internet.org, a grand, multipart initiative designed to connect those without internet access. Its best-known—and most contested—program, Free Basics, offers people in over 60 countries free access to some websites, including Facebook. Critics complained that Free Basics created a two-tiered internet, further exacerbating the digital divide between developed and developing nations. India eventually outlawed the program in 2016.

Facebook can't handle the world stage, so they sell out to Amazon in favor of a partnership with Eutelsat to spread their virus across Africa via WiFi Express. A company called PointView Tech LLC is mentioned also. I'll get to that in a few.

Amazon cleared an important hurdle when the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced on 30 July that the company was authorized to deploy and operate its Kuiper satellite constellation. The authorization came with the caveat that Amazon would still have to demonstrate that Kuiper would not interfere with previously authorized satellite projects, such as SpaceX’s Starlink.

Clear message. Do not fuck with Starlink. Starlink is more than enough and cell service is still better than satellite service. Why do they need to compete with Starlink? Why not just combine forces? The internet is the internet. Right?

If your following along OneWeb is next.

Using more than 600 satellites, and possibly up to 2,000 or even as many as 48,000, it would beam the internet to the ground, rivaling the Starlink constellation from Elon Musk's company SpaceX.

They are obsessed with "rivaling" starlink.

According to BBC News, part of the interest – spearheaded by Dominic Cummings, a key adviser to Prime Minister Boris Johnson that has been embroiled in a scandal over breaking coronavirus lockdown regulations – is to use the satellites for their original purpose of beaming the internet to the ground.

The other is as a new space-based Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) service. The U.K. was infamously ousted from Europe’s answer to the U.S. Global Positioning System (GPS), called Galileo, after its decision to leave the European Union in 2016.

OneWeb and its satellites, however, would offer an alternate GPS system. Traditionally, GPS satellites orbit at a height of about 20,000 kilometers above earth, but there are other options; Japan’s Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS), uses satellites in much lower orbits.

At a height of 1,200 kilometers, OneWeb’s satellites could conceivably be repurposed for a similar job, allowing the U.K. to have its replacement for Galileo that it desires, but there are significant challenges to doing so.

PointView Tech LLC

They seem unimportant and are just a subsidiary of facebook. But they were part of the Amazon acquisition and they do have one satellite lurking in space.

So what is PointView into? Experimental shit. That's what.

First link on the page. (ELS0242-EX-ST-2021)

Purpose of Operation

Testing and monitoring of point-to-point microwave links will provide data inputs to establish, tune, and calibrate future E-band links. The stop-buzzer contact is Travis West at 806-239-1165.

What is this E-Band shit?

A point-to-point microwave radio link

The E band represents the frequency range from 60 GHz to 90 GHz. Signals in this frequency range have very short wavelengths from 3.33 mm to 5 mm. The short wavelengths give signals at these frequency directional properties and thus this band is widely used for RF/Microwave backhaul links.

What is QAM? Quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) including 16QAM, 32QAM, 64QAM, 128QAM, 256QAM, 512QAM, 1024QAM, 2048QAM and 4096QAM is both an analog and a digital modulation scheme. It conveys two analog message signals, or two digital bit streams, by changing (modulating) the amplitudes of two carrier waves, using the amplitude-shift keying (ASK) digital modulation scheme or amplitude modulation (AM) analog modulation scheme.

Now the cherry

So my conclusion is that they want to cover the earth with a quasi dyson sphere with advanced tracking capabilities and the ability to essentially control your mind with frequency and amplitude modulations... But it seems to me that Starlink is standing in the way.
