🚀 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
