Taara has just broken free from Alphabet and is making waves in the internet world with its cutting-edge laser technology. Its new approach promises faster speeds and lower costs than traditional satellite systems.
Not very compareable systems. One covers the entire globe with satellites and another is just a fancy version of Wi-Fi. If you live somewhere remote you’d still need a bunch of masts within line of sight from eachother and if you’re vanlifer or such then it’s of no use.
I mean, cool technology but serves a bit different purpose. Especially in the edge cases.

and it requires line of sight which means it is hard to scale, will have issues with adverse climate and probably will need frequent realigments
Imagine an autolock laser connection to the signal tower. Or autolock laser to a satellite in a vanlife.
Then imagine clouds. Pigeons.
The bandwidth of IPoAC is considerably lower, though.
Imagine a rainbow on a cool spring day.
