Internet in the Space Age
Episode description
In this episode of All Things Policy, Ashwin Prasad and Aishwaria Sonavane discuss satellite internet.

Thousands of Low-Earth Orbit satellites are working together to beam internet globally, representing a massive infrastructure and space tech innovation. This technology holds immense potential for military strategy and economic growth, but its dual-use nature also presents security and regulatory challenges that demand our attention.To understand the power and implications of satellite internet – whether for use, investment, or governance – it's crucial to grasp its fundamentals. My latest paper, the first in a series, explains precisely how this technology works and its current applications. Dive into the details: takshashila.org.in/research/satellite-internet-explained
