I googled your interesting HN username and best as I could tell it refers to what was a satellite radio show.

Satellite radio probably contributed to the demise of AM radio in countries where its available. It offers the benefits of AM (range) without the major downside (quality) with both being infrastructure heavy.

I’m waiting for Apple to broadcast on their satellite services so I can point my phone up and get weather, news and maybe live traffic (on pre-downloaded maps). Wouldn’t need many kbps to get that even if it needs to constantly repeat. Especially with some spot beams for localization.

Don’t even really need star link for that.
