  • No Matter What The Washington Post Says, Ukraine Will Not Be Energy Independent

    forbes.com 1 week, 5 days ago

    Ukraine will almost certainly continue to be highly dependent on Russian gas, and it will remain dependent for the foreseeable future. A more energy independent Ukraine would be more politically independent from Moscow, and would have greater room to liberalize, but it is hard to see how this is going to happen because Ukraine is not going to achieve anything like energy independence.

    engadget.com 1 week, 2 days ago

    Gogo has a virtual lock on in-flight WiFi for the US, but most of us forget that everything goes dark the moment you decide to cross the border. The company already has a deal with Inmarsat for Ka-band Internet connections, and now it's partnering up with AeroSat to bring Ku-band satellite access.

Additional Info

via Wikipedia
A satellite state is a political term that refers to a country that is formally independent, but under heavy political and economic influence or control by another country. The term was coined by analogy to stellar objects orbiting a larger object, such as smaller moons revolving around larger planets, and is used mainly to refer to Central and Eastern European countries of the Warsaw Pact during the Cold War or to Mongolia between 1924 and 1990, for example. As used for Central and Eastern European countries it implies that the countries in question were "satellites" under the hegemony of the Soviet Union. In some contexts it also refers to other countries in the Soviet sphere of influence during the Cold War—such as North Korea and Cuba. In Western usage, the term has seldom been applied to states other than those in the Soviet orbit. In Soviet usage, the term was applied to the states in the orbit of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy.
