Unknown(@probzunknown):$RKLB: I've spent this weekend looking more into Rocket Lab's acquisition of Iridium and what the net-new applications SPB frequently mentions could be. Iridium's spectrum is not broadband. It's meant to support small amounts of data, but do so in a very resilient way. I think that with the rise of autonomous endpoints (drones, robots, UAVs, etc), having access to a "guaranteed" network to transmit critical data will be fairly important. Iridium uniquely provides assurance. Rocket Lab can scale this in a truly robust way. I'm working on a @tryprismxyz article that I'll be sharing in the next day or so that will go into this theory in a bit more depth.
