The internet is abuzz with widespread claims of an impending “10 Days of Communication Shutdown”, allegedly involving global blackouts, power outages, and economic disruptions. Though largely speculative, this narrative has reignited public interest in emergency preparedness and raised concerns over its authenticity.

The Claims in Brief
The circulating message warns:
1. Global Communication Blackouts for ten days.
2. Power Shutdowns linked to the installation of Starlink Satellite Internet.
3. Bank Closures and ATMs becoming non-operational.
4. Advice to stock up on food, water, cash, and essentials for a month.
5. Military forces stepping in to provide emergency aid.
6. A continuous broadcast revealing “hidden truths” and teaching principles of freedom and justice.

Breaking Down the Narrative
The “10 Days of Darkness” Theory
The idea of communication blackouts and darkness for ten days has roots in various conspiracy theories, especially among online forums like QAnon. It often re-emerges during uncertain times or technological developments, presenting speculative claims of global resets or revelations.
Starlink and Power Outages
Starlink, Elon Musk’s satellite internet project, has been a focal point for this rumor. While Starlink aims to provide worldwide internet coverage, there is no technical need for a global power shutdown during its deployment.
Global power grids are decentralized, making coordinated worldwide blackouts logistically implausible.
Economic Disruptions and Bank Closures
The idea of banks closing and ATMs shutting down can create panic. However, no credible institutions have announced any such plans. While occasional service disruptions occur locally, they are far from global shutdowns.
Emergency Preparedness
While the claims remain unverified, preparedness is generally good advice. Experts often recommend having a supply of essentials (food, water, and cash) for unexpected emergencies such as natural disasters, cyberattacks, or economic slowdowns.

Should You Be Concerned?
The narrative of 10 Days of Communication Shutdown lacks official confirmation from credible sources. Here’s what you can do:
Stay Informed: Rely on verified news outlets for updates.
Avoid Panic: Unverified claims are often exaggerated for attention.
Be Prepared: Basic emergency preparedness is practical, but avoid hoarding or overreacting.

Conclusion
The “10 Days of Communication Shutdown” remains a speculative narrative without evidence to back its claims. While it encourages preparation, the story aligns more with conspiracy theories than grounded reality. As always, stay calm, trust reliable sources, and prepare wisely for realistic emergencies.

#Ripple💰 CTO David Schwartz has praised Elon Musk's Starlink
#DavidSchwartz , chief technology officer at Ripple, recently shared his experience of using #ElonMusk's Starlink.
According to Schwartz, he was able to join a Zoom call without any cell service by simply installing a Starlink dish on the dashboard of his car. 
Last month, the Ripple CTO revealed that he got access to various Starlink Roam features, which include in-motion use, international travel, and coastal coverage. 
Notably, Schwartz is far from being a fan of the centibillionaire. He has repeatedly criticized Musk, arguing that most of what he does is "severely overrated." The Ripple CTO has also slammed the Tesla CEO for famously promising things that he cannot deliver. 
Despite being rather critical of Musk, Schwartz has praised #starlink on numerous occasions, describing it as an "astonishing success." 
Speaking of his Starlink-powered Zoom meeting, Schwartz said that his internet speed was about 8 Mbps (megabit per second). Even though the speech is "terrible" by the company's standards, he has noted that the dish was not made for such conditions. 
Starlink launched the very first satellites aboard a Falcon 9 rocket back in May 2019. As of now, there are nearly 6,500 satellites in orbit. 
Musk's company now boasts more than 4 million customers around the globe, emerging as the top provider of satellite internet. It specifically targets areas with poor internet coverage.
In July, Starlink Roam, which makes it possible to satellite internet on the road, became available across the US.
As reported by @WISE MOONBIX , Starlink also introduced its first-ever cell service earlier this year. $XRP

With the internet’s incessant popularity, it has become something of a basic need these days and has even been written in the UN list of basic human rights. High-speed reliable internet might be taken for granted in big cities of Pakistan. Starlink aims to change that.However, as we move towards more remote areas of the country, the more reliance there is on 3g and 4g services. Frequent outages, reliability issues and limited bandwidth plague these services. Starlink is a ray of light in these situations offering high-speed satellite internet services in remote areas with low latency.

Graana.com, Pakistan’s Smartest Property Portal, is here to highlight the important aspects of Starlink and its availability in Pakistan.
What is Starlink?
Starlink is a high-speed satellite internet provider that provides low latency, high-speed internet with uncapped bandwidth.

This is achieved with the help of low-orbiting satellites in the earth’s orbit. Satellite internet isn’t a new idea but previous internet service providers relied on small clusters of large satellites.

These cumbersome satellites often had limited capacities all the while having very high latency issues and exorbitant prices.

How Fast Will Starlink be
According to some tests done by YouTubers from countries where Starlink is available, 125 megabits per second download and upwards of 25 Mbps upload is how fast Starlink will be.

Starlink promises to be at least as high as broadband internet speeds with latency issues as low as normal broadband internet. Game streaming and uploading will now be possible on satellite internet.
...Pricing...
Starlink offers a $500 starter kit that includes a base satellite dish and a router that connects to it. This is the basic setup required for Starlink. The subscription for Starlink is $100 a month.

This price seems high but when compared to the regular ISP offerings, it’s not that bad considering the utility it offers. The small price premium for remote high-speed internet is worth the small markup.

This pricing is just for the initial beta and is subject to increase given the high costs of satellite deployment and maintenance.

How does Starlink work
Starlink requires low orbiting satellites at 3 different levels in the stratosphere 340km, 550km and 1150km. These satellites are not geostationary. This means that the satellites are not moving with earth but rather at a speed of seven km per second. This makes it difficult for the dish on the ground to move with the speed of the satellites.

The dish employs a clever tactic of having lots of antennas built into itself. The dish uses a phased array antenna which instead of using a single antenna uses lots of smaller antennas arranged in an array.

This kind of technology was limited to military usage and it is impressive that Starlink is mass-producing this at a reasonable cost.

The Starlink satellites are capable of transmitting data and even acting as backhaul links to help with areas with less coverage. If a base station is at a position with low coverage, its signal can be ported to other better-oriented satellites for better response.
(PTA) issued an official notice in January this year advising its users against placing pre-orders for Starlink. This is because there is no legality of the company.

PTA regulates all the traffic in Pakistan. Starlink in its current state is completely tethered which can cause a huge challenge for the rising cybercriminal activity.

According to Pakistani YouTubers who have tried and tested the hardware for Starlink confirm that the device does not currently function in Pakistan.

This is due to the fact that there are no satellites in the area. Starlink has a plan of complete deployment in about 9 years with 50% deployment in 4-5 years. India is a big market, and since Pakistan is a neighbouring country, it might not be long since we start seeing the deployment of Starlink in Pakistan

Starlink is a promising technology with a lot of potential. Pakistan should try to leverage this infrastructure and help boost its growing economy.#WeAreAllSatoshi #HBODocumentarySatoshiRevealed #U.S.UnemploymentNewLow #starlink #Hamstercombo $USDC
