The modern technological foundation of human civilization actually rests on various technological pillars. However, connectivity and encryption currently serve as the true key foundation for the vast majority of all tech solutions familiar to us today. SkyLinker has already written about this in the publication “PNT — three letters without which the modern world would stop.”

As is always the case, the importance of this technological foundation leads to very interesting political, economic, and even social dependencies that few people know about. But in reality, it is these factors that shape the planet’s political landscape and even create certain unwritten rules that everyone—from technological pioneers to the leaders of the most powerful countries—is forced to follow.

We should emphasize right away that certain technical details and descriptions of Starlink PNT usage have been intentionally omitted in this material. All information mentioned and provided in the material is available in various publicly accessible sources. This publication does not contain any information obtained through official or unofficial cooperation with any companies or organizations.
