The single biggest barrier to scaling LEO broadband has never been rockets or spectrum — it is the cost of putting a flat-panel phased-array antenna on every rooftop.

SpaceX and Amazon are fighting at the FCC over orbital insertion altitudes—a dispute that looks like a safety argument but is equally about spectrum priority and competitive positioning.

Telesat’s decision to dedicate a slice of every Lightspeed satellite to military Ka-band isn’t just a business pivot — it exposes a structural problem facing any LEO operator that lacks a tech giant’s balance sheet or its own launch vehicle.

Optical inter-satellite links exploit a basic fact of physics to build a space-based internet backbone — and every serious LEO constellation now has to have them.

Eutelsat OneWeb is betting that combining low Earth orbit with geostationary satellites beats going all-in on either — a different theory of the market.

Project Kuiper enters a market where a rival already has satellites, subscribers, and a head start — so its real challenge is not technology but timing.

Turning an ordinary phone into a satellite terminal is the most ambitious promise in orbital connectivity — and the one most constrained by physics.

As constellations multiply, the binding constraints on satellite internet are shifting from rockets and radios to orbital slots, spectrum rights, and collision risk.

An independent home for tracking the satellite internet industry — the constellations, the economics, and the policy fights behind broadband from orbit.
