I wrote at least a decade ago that Apple should buy Globalstar, fire the ineffectual management and build the world's biggest telecommunications system. Starlink is at a lower altitude so Applelink would have a larger diameter.

But they'd need to learn about Wacky Wireless free megabytes while the system gets filled with millions and billions of happy users. No stupid arpu monthly charges. Users would buy a $10 or more credit that doesn't expire until the megabytes are used, whether it's one second, one minute, one hour, one day, one month, one year, or one decade.

Initially make megabytes 0.0000 cents per megabyte. As the system fills, the price would be increased to balance supply and demand. That way the system would always be available for another user to connect if their need was great enough such as a Mayday call from an airliner. People filling in time watching movie re runs would stop using the service until the price went back to a low enough price.

People who want fixed monthly charges, or a fixed price per megabyte/gigabyte could have those options and avoid peak megabyte prices.

Consumer surplus would be huge and profits would be vast as millions and billions of people and devices would gobble gigabytes galore.
