Starlink & SpaceX in Danger

In this episode, we explore how Elon Musk’s Starlink project is reshaping the global internet landscape—especially in places long considered “dead zones” of connectivity. We’ll examine why traditional satellite internet struggled for decades, how Starlink’s innovative low-Earth orbit satellites are delivering faster, more accessible internet, and the enormous economic opportunity this emerging market represents.

But Starlink isn’t just transforming connectivity; it’s altering geopolitical power dynamics. Discover how Ukraine’s use of Starlink during the Russian invasion highlighted the system’s strategic significance and why China views it as a formidable American asset. We’ll delve into China’s plans to build its own “Chinese Starlink,” the race to harness next-generation networks like 6G, and the intensifying competition to control low-Earth orbit real estate.

Join me as I break down complex technology and business concepts into insights that matter for leaders and investors. In this episode, we’ll uncover the strategies, tensions, and future possibilities in the new space-based internet economy—and what it all means for the rapidly shifting balance of global power.
