Communications and the internet drove extraordinary economic growth in the late 1990s, and the architecture that made it possible drew the hottest money in Silicon Valley and on Wall Street. After the dotcom bubble burst, the pendulum swung: investors, founders, and the press agreed that the infrastructure was boring and the applications were where the real work lived. That consensus would hold for two decades. Until Starlink came along.
Starlink's growth has been a compounding event in real time. The service took two years to sign its first million customers. Three years after that, in February, it went from nine million to ten million in 53 days, and recent reports show it adding more than 20,000 new customers every day. With four straight quarters of >100% growth, some forecast Starlink at 20M subscribers by year end. Simply put – internet demand and traffic is exploding.

Hoplynk was born out of a near-death Northern Alaska experience. Our last blog article explains why we exist. I want to talk about what it means to build Hoplynk.
At the Naval Academy and in the Marine Corps, we lived and breathed core values – honor, courage, commitment. After taking off the uniform, I was among the first employees at a hyper-growth startup. There, we decided our mantra was “low ego, high output, no bullshit.” Some organizations treat core values like marketing slogans. High-performing organizations use them as lighthouses to guide them. I believe core values define how you work, communicate, and live.

Most people don't think about "networks". They open a laptop, click a Wi-Fi name, and expect life to work. When it doesn't, they hop to another WiFi network, maybe toggle a hotspot, swear a little, and try again. The burden sits on the human. Pick the right network. Pray it works. Guess again when it fails. Keep juggling.
In the military we have a concept for this: PACE Plans (Primary, Alternate, Contingency, Emergency Plans). It's how you design communications so that when the primary path dies, the message still gets through. On your laptop's network drop-down, you're staring at your PACE plan. The problem is, you're the one doing the planning and execution in real time. The plan is to switch to another network—the problem is you don't know if it will even work when you do.
