We talk about how—while wires still reign supreme—satellite is having a bit of a resurgence. And maybe even the potential to disrupt the wireline market a bit? Listen to our conversation to find out.
It was also a great opportunity to get Alan Mauldin on the line to talk more about his latest blog post, which is incredibly relevant to our satellite chat.
