Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has confirmed that Starlink, his satellite-based broadband service, will be available worldwide beginning in August. Musk announced that, with the exception of the North and South Poles, Starlink internet connectivity will be available globally starting in August at a virtual event at the Mobile World Congress.
Where can I get Starlink right now?
According to Musk, Starlink’s broadband service is already in the test phase in around 12 nations, with more being added every month. There is no indication on when the service will be accessible in India, but Starlink’s broadband internet service is now available in the United States, Australia, and a few other countries.
What is the current user count for Starlink?
Starlink has around 69,000 active clients, according to Musk. “Within the next 12 months, we will have a few hundred thousand more users, probably over 500,000,” Musk stated.
What is Starlink and how does it work?
SpaceX, Musk’s space exploration enterprise, has launched around 1,800 low-orbit satellites because these satellites are in low orbit, they have lower latency, or the time it takes for messages to travel between the satellites and Earth. Starlink is a quicker internet service provider because of this. It also makes it easier for Starlink to deliver internet service in remote locations where it has previously been difficult to do so.
What method will Starlink use to get to your house?
By forming alliances, for a wider reach, SpaceX and Musk will collaborate with major telecom operators around the world. “We have two fairly important collaborations with major country carriers that I’d want to be able to announce now,” Musk said at the MWC event, “but obviously we defer to our partners to make any announcement.” He also stated that SpaceX is in talks with a number of other carriers about providing Starlink service.
