AC-Series-1, eBook 4: How The Telecom Industry Ends

The era of cell towers and fiber-optic backhaul is coming to an end.

In The Collapse of Land-Based Mobile Networks, we examine how physical infrastructure — once the foundation of mobile connectivity — is now its greatest weakness. As deployment costs soar and returns shrink, the world’s largest telecoms are discovering they simply can’t afford to keep the system running.

Meanwhile, orbital networks powered by Adaptive Computing are sidestepping the entire land-based model — delivering global coverage without laying a single cable.

What You’ll Learn in This eBook:

Why land-based systems are failing

–  From small cell congestion to aging fiber lines, maintaining mobile coverage has become financially unsustainable.

The geography problem

–  Rural zones, mountains, deserts, and oceanic gaps make physical rollout impossible — leaving billions underserved.

The centralization risk

–  Land-based networks rely on centralized hubs that are vulnerable to attack, failure, and manipulation by state actors.

The cost-to-coverage crisis

–  Each generation (4G, 5G, 6G) requires more infrastructure for less gain — a model that simply doesn’t scale anymore.

How AC satellite networks change the equation

–  With self-healing mesh systems, AI routing, and quantum encryption, orbital networks are proving they don’t just compete — they replace.

Who This Book Is For:

–  Infrastructure strategists and policy leaders

–  Telecom professionals and engineers

–  Startup founders in the AI, IoT, or mesh network space

–  Investors seeking the next phase of global infrastructure

Part of the AC-Series-1 Collection

This is Book 4 in the AC-Series-1, a 21-eBook series built from the foundation of the original hardcover Death of Mobile. Each eBook breaks down one core failure of legacy telecom — and introduces the adaptive, decentralized technologies replacing it.
