🚀 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
🔮 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

The S&P 500 slumped 1.8% on Monday and Tuesday, thanks to China Evergrande, the Chinese property company that looks like it is ready to default on its more-than $300 billion in debt. Cries of the next Lehman Brothers—or maybe the next Silverado?—echoed through the canyons of Wall Street as investors prepared for the worst.
That strategy is the acquisition of a value-priced company by a growth company. Using the growth company's higher-priced stock for the acquisition can produce outsized revenue and earnings growth. Even better is the use of cash, particularly in a growth period when financial aggressiveness is accepted and even positively viewed.he key public rationale behind this strategy is synergy - the 1+1=3 view. In many cases, synergy does occur and is valuable. However, in other cases, particularly as the strategy gains popularity, it doesn't. Joining two different organizations, workforces and cultures is a challenge. Simply putting two separate organizations together necessarily creates disruptions and conflicts that can undermine both operations.
