Starlink Announces Plans to Offer Internet via Satellites Worldwide in September – How to Register
Starlink, SpaceX’s satellite internet unit in space, will be ready to provide global internet coverage starting in September. However, Elon Musk’s company must first obtain approval from regulators in each region they plan to operate in.
Gwynne Shotwell, President and COO of SpaceX, announced this at a virtual conference: “We have successfully deployed about 1,800 satellites, and once all these satellites reach their operational orbit, we will have continuous global coverage,” while confirming that this could happen in September. She added, “But then we have a regulatory job to go to all countries and get approval to provide communication services.”
Starlink, which plans to deploy 12,000 satellites in total at a cost of around $10 billion, currently offers beta services in 11 countries, according to Shotwell, including Australia, the United States, New Zealand, and parts of Europe.
In May, Elon Musk announced that this satellite network in low Earth orbit had received over 500,000 service requests for internet.
Starlink confirms that its service is “ideal for regions of the world where connectivity has been a challenge. Without traditional ground infrastructure limitations, Starlink can provide high-speed broadband internet to locations where access was unreliable or not fully available.”
