Description
This is the Internet Report, where we uncover what’s working and what’s breaking on the Internet—and why. On this week’s episode, Mike sat down with our guest, Ray Hunter, the senior network consultant at Globis in the Netherlands, to talk about SatComms and the role they play in connecting users, and what effect the mass deployment of Low Earth Orbital (LEO) satellites will have on networks and service delivery. We also discuss a recent move by the US to ban financial transactions between TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, and US citizens, effectively removing financial incentives to serve US citizens. While not an outright ban, it does raise questions about how an outright ban even be enforced, and what that means for the broader conversation around Internet sovereignty.
