Brandon joins T-Minus Space Daily to explain how recent developments in orbital data centers, edge AI, and optical laser communications signal a future shift of global internet infrastructure from terrestrial fiber networks to space-based systems—potentially redistributing wealth and strategic value from equatorial hubs like Singapore to polar regions such as Greenland.

Key topics

  • Emerging space-based internet infrastructure, driven by orbital data centers, edge AI, and high-speed optical communications.
  • Predicted geopolitical and economic shifts toward Arctic and polar regions as future hubs for data connectivity and ground stations.
  • Cybersecurity implications of the transition, including new infrastructure needs and enhanced transmission security via optical links.
