I heard that iridium satellites may be brought down. It must be fun
putting it up on the first place and then bringing it down, electronic
stuff will on their own stop after some time, so why bring it down, and
when it is still up there in the sky why not use it for some other
purpose than intended, that way you can save the cost of bringing it
down ! The www is always hungry for more, the present
infrastructure of iridium could be used to enhance performance of www,
it may not make profits but it will sure help in the maintenance and
coordination of servers and speed up the web which may benefit all in
general. It can help in coordinating the databases of domains
for look up, as this is growing every day it will help if the broadcasts
for IP Address search is separate so as to free the servers for other
tasks, broadcasts can be a separate mega thread thru iridium.
It can help in networking large servers separately to ensure coordination
on and sharing of critical information, instant updates, tables,
databases of web, virus alerts, breakdowns, it can help reduce the
chaos, as the net is at the knee of its growth. The iridium
will also be useful in distributing traffic based on priorities, the
downloading of an mp3 file may prevent a small text file warning of
natural disaster or war (for which the early web was intended), the
iridium network could assign priorities to paths and data as they
originate. In short it means you can make iridium the
spiderman of the world wide web, that way iridium can link only the huge
servers and nodes to monitor, regulate, and maintain traffic in a
synchronous and systematic manner. Lastly remember a big web should have a big spider.
