    $\begingroup$ My best guess is that the person who researched this, either doesn't speak Mandarin very well, is not familiar with satellite Internet, or both, and mixed up the data rates of the entire network, or at at least an entire satellite, and an individual link. (This is assuming the data was published in Mandarin. If it was published in English, it is similarly possible that the person responsible for publishing the English data sheets does not actually speak English very well.) $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ The mobile industry and the stock market is a two-head monster auto-feeding on hype (and big numbers). The content providers are not interested in a model where you download zeta bytes of content to consume them offline. Their "bread-and-butter" is tracking your preferences and activities. $\endgroup$
