🚀 Taara's Laser Internet: Faster and Cheaper than Starlink and Fiber * Promises 10-100x faster than Starlink, at lower cost than fiber * "Lightbridge" devices transmit data up to 20km at 20Gbps
🔍 How it Works * Uses focused light beams, not cables or satellites * Mounted on rooftops/poles, no ground digging required * Ideal for challenging environments like rivers, valleys, remote areas
🔍 Origins and Deployments * Spun off from Alphabet's Project Loon balloon internet * Quietly deployed in test markets like Kinshasa, Nairobi, Coachella
đź”® Future Plans * 2026: Miniaturized "chip" version to simplify installation, reduce costs * Aims to bridge digital divide for 3 billion without reliable internet
🤖 Starlink Comparison * Targets specific locations, not global satellite coverage like Starlink * Spun off from Alphabet to scale faster with investments and partnerships

“To the extent it is used I fear it’s often for illicit finance. It’s an extremely inefficient way of conducting transactions, and the amount of energy that’s consumed in processing those transactions is staggering,” the former Fed chairwoman said. Yellen’s comments have been cited as a reason for bitcoin’s recent losses. However, Yellen’s assessment of bitcoin as a inefficient medium of exchange is an important point and one that has already been raised in the past by bitcoin bulls. Using a volatile asset in exchange for goods and services makes little sense if the asset can tumble 10% in a day, or surge 80% over the course of a two months as bitcoin has done in 2021, critics argue. To put a finer point on it, over the past 12 months bitcoin has registered 8 corrections, defined as a decline from a recent peak of at least 10% but not more than 20%, and two bear markets, which are defined as falls of 20% or more, according to Dow Jones Market Data.
However, analysts are positive on the stock now. “We have seen a huge downside movement in the stock due to the central electricity regulatory commission’s (CERC) order that seems to be negative from 2014-15 onwards but we cannot take a linear negative view on the stock and further downside movement on the stock is unlikely. Currently stock is underpriced. Investors can bet on it for a longer horizon," said Vivek Gupta, director research at CapitalVia Global Research.
