I’ve just returned from attending the Satellite Show 2023 in Washington DC and all the buzz was about Starlink Maritime and the future of connectivity at sea. My team is averaging 4-5 Starlink installs per day, and we hope to increase that to 7-8 vessels by the end of the month.

19 yrs ago I took this photo of Todd Rooney, @OmarShahine , and @drlorashahine at a reception held at the Apple Store Palo Alto the night before the store opened. Steve Jobs and Avie Tevanian were handing out t-shirts at the door. Jobs died exactly 10 years later: October 5, 2011.
