question regarding 5G and a couple specific companies.
So i was on a flight past few yrs and bought the expensive data to stream the England game and it was impossible. I like to trade by predicting the future and it is very clear in flight 5G is going to happen and improve things fairly soon… i believe. So which companies do we think will take off.
Im looking at these two stocks currently and have added them on twitter
now i have only skimmed through these two and im sure ther are others . I guess my question is
1 how much competition is there and is it too much?
2. Are these two companies in competition?
3. Which competitors do you believe to be the best in 5G?
But let’s go for internet connectivity services within aeroplanes…
It’d be interesting if someone calculated the numbers… cost of service * estimated number of users per year etc…
I guess it would make sense that this becomes viable, are companies providing the service already profitable?
I’ve flown quite a lot, and I agree at the moment the service is terrible, I also struggle to see ‘a lot’ of people using the service when everyone is trying to fly as cheaply as possible…
There may be something in regards to moving planes to a permanent connectivity state themselves - but if this is even possible I guess there’s a load of red tape that will take time to get through due to risk
I was referring to the plane and pilots use of data - but turns out you’re right either way and I’m living in the past thinking satélite communication is not reliable enough
Have a look at this company. They are building a satellite network and have working technology where existing mobile phones will be able to seamlessly transfer from mobile networks to satellite networks and will get the internet connectivity on existing devices.
It looks very promising that you don’t need any additional hardware to provide internet connectivity on ships, planes and remote areas.
On a side note - AST space mobile is going to be publicly listed on nasdaq via a reverse merger with NPA SPAC. The deal is announced and merger is expected to close in Q1.
