TIL about
faster latency
So what does this mean? I understand more/less latency, but fast/slow latency? Is this like multiple genders? Suppose I want cold or hot latency? Are these options too?
I'm actually confused about why they need spectrum authorization at all. Satellites don't broadcast wide signals, they usually send narrow beams that require a parabolic antenna. There's no way for satellite signals to interfere with terrestrial signals.

They mean lower latency. They're just using terminology that is more comprehensible to laymen.

Each country licenses spectrum within its geographic area. Most Starlink demand is inside the US due to low population density and high wealth to pay for service. This mostly maximizes the efficiency of spectrum use by auctioning it to the highest bidder and minimizing interference. Otherwise some fucktard in Wyoming would blast their pirate folk music station with three listeners across 100 mhz of spectrum.

Signals bleed all over the place, albeit at weaker levels than at the intended destination. I've maintained succesful microwave links pointed at the backside of parabolic antennas because of this.

They absolutely can and will. e.g. This is why frequencies used for radio-astronomy are often prohibited for orbital use, and for terrestrial use in broad geographic areas around radio telescopes.
It transmits your data at a faster rate of speed and faster acceleration.
