We are in furious agreement there. I just recon its time to improve on it.
My internet started with dialup at woeful data rates, and over time, technology has improved on that.
Making live streaming from planes should be "relatively" cheap now, given its basically just a comms system to an external backup. ( And yes i know its not that simple, but close )
Maybe in congested areas, planes transmit data to nearby planes in a peer to peer mode, and satellite bandwidth is only required for the few planes out of range.
Gotta be some smart ways out there to at least track a plane without having to negotiate with countries that are allegedly withholding info that might give away their radar capabilities etc ( another theory that would cost a lot if proven )
