Active antennae like these + satellite Internet could make cabled communication completely obsolete (no more routers, no telephone lines, no cable lines)--all information could be from source to satellite to receiver and back. All devices could always be &quot;online&quot;--that distinction would go away, too, as there is no offline except when it&#x27;s off. Big implications for product&#x2F;feature design across the industry because you can always assume &quot;on&quot; = &quot;connected,&quot; and with no &quot;data&quot; issues as seen on cellular connections today. Hugely interesting from the privacy perspective for the same reason.
