Hey there,

Today's tech landscape is all about breaking down walls—geographic, informational, and physical. Whether it's satellites beaming internet to the remotest corners of Earth or blockchain making supply chains transparent, we're witnessing technology's power to connect and reveal. Let's explore what's happening.

🛰️ THE BIG ONE: Starlink Reaches 100+ Countries as Satellite Internet Goes Mainstream

SpaceX's Constellation Delivers Fiber-Like Speeds to Remote Corners of the Globe

Starlink just crossed a milestone that cements satellite internet as genuine infrastructure, not experimental tech. With coverage now spanning over 100 countries—including 18 African nations and newly approved service in India (population: 1.4 billion)—SpaceX's low-Earth orbit constellation is delivering speeds up to 500 Mbps with latency as low as 12 milliseconds. That's fiber-class performance reaching places traditional ISPs never could economically serve. The V2 Mini satellites pack four times the capacity of earlier models, while laser inter-satellite links transmit data across 7,000+ kilometers without touching ground. For remote communities, maritime vessels, aircraft, and polar research stations, this isn't just better internet—it's their first reliable broadband connection ever. As Starlink densifies its constellation through 2026, the digital divide that once seemed insurmountable is rapidly narrowing.

💭 Today's Tech Perspective

There's a common thread running through today's stories: visibility. Starlink makes remote regions visible to the digital economy. Blockchain makes supply chain practices visible to regulators and consumers. Apple Glasses promise to make digital information visible in our physical environment. Even self-healing AI tests are about making code failures visible and addressable faster. Technology's greatest power might not be what it creates, but what it reveals—the connections we couldn't see, the places we couldn't reach, the information we couldn't verify. As these technologies mature, the world becomes less opaque and more accessible. That transparency creates accountability, opportunity, and ultimately, progress.
