Future of Connectivity

The future looks bright for connectivity as technologies such as 5G mature and everyone starts moving towards 6G which will include satellite connectivity to eliminate dead zones. Fiber internet rollouts have ramped up in the United States with no sign of stopping anytime soon. The fiber boom has caused several people to experience the fastest internet for the first time. With the introduction of newer technologies like Starlink, a non-geostationary orbit satellite constellation has made great progress on closing the digital divide with more advancements yet to come with the recently announced Starlink gen 2 satellites.
