While initially a complement to existing terrestrial networks, the potential for widespread adoption could revolutionize the telecommunications industry, impacting business models and raising questions regarding cost-sharing and global regulation. Despite challenges like latency and power consumption, the long-term implications are significant, potentially democratizing internet access worldwide.
