How Elon Musk’s Starlink Is Bringing In Billions For SpaceX
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 май 2024
- Starlink is SpaceX’s answer to providing global, high-speed internet coverage using a network of thousands of satellites buzzing around the planet in a region known as low Earth orbit (LEO), about 342 miles above the Earth’s surface. SpaceX launched its first batch of Starlink satellites back in 2019, and since then, adoption of the service has ballooned. Starlink now has over 2 million active customers and is available on all 7 continents and in over 60 countries. Starlink has been praised for its ability to connect remote parts of the world that would otherwise not have access to reliable internet. The service has also become indispensable in areas hit by natural disasters, and, more recently, during times of war, particularly the Russia-Ukraine war. But Starlink’s growing influence is garnering condemnation from some who say that SpaceX CEO, Elon Musk is meddling in geopolitics, while the scientific community is raising alarms of the effect of thousands of satellites on radio and optical astronomy.

How Elon Musk’s Starlink Is Bringing In Billions For SpaceX
as someone who works at a very remote location, starlink is the only way to communicate with the outside world and its pretty sick
This isn't true
Where is that? They don't service remote locations.
@@blakewisswellDo you have another company? 🤡
How's the speed?
@blakewisswell if it was true then they wouldn't be calling those clients commitments.
As a seaworker I’m thrilled to have starlink at sea! It’s not only a good business idea, but it helps us seafarers a lot by staying connected with those on land. I think I can speak for many when I say it’s a game changer🤩
You're a cool dude
You have a cool job
Keep up the good work
And never call yourselves seamen 👍🏻

Starlink is the ripoff of SES ASTRA satellites that exist for decades.
SES ASTRA 135 million households down to 100 miles low orbit high speed internet, not the weak 2 million households from Starlink satellites that streamed videos in low resolution during Cybertruck offroad event. Again media trying to hype Musk products that are often behind the OG's leading companies. (satellites, solar panels, battery tech, trains, tunnel constructions Musk is behind the best in all these).
but that is a good news the bad news is that you might be hit by the debris of space x satilites
Is it really expensive to make a call off satellite comm. like $50 a minute?
I can not say enough great things about my experience with Starlink thus far. Starlink has been a godsend for my family allowing my family members to further themselves academically while enjoying a greater quality of life that Starlink has made possible. Thank you Elon Musk and team.
Imagine being as much of a creator/maker as Elon Musk and then hating him because he’s simultaneously based and successful.
Love the haters.
Well I'm an open hater I'll say. Because I just seen these things traveling across the sky the other week. I did not have a clue what it was. And thought it was either aliens or some kind of SERIOUSLY ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES KEEPING AN EYE ON ALL OF US
OBVIOUSLY IVE since discovered what it is..
But am seriously suspicious of it's affect on humans health. Has it even been tested to see if it affects our health. That's some SERIOUSLY ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES very close to us.. and Ive been feeling sick for a while now on a FORTNIGHtly basis and can't figure out what it is .
A lot of my neighbours and friends are sick too.
I wonder if it is these things .
And I'm not joking
Aren't there other places that offer the same kind of thing that don't actually have 50 satellites full of radiation or god knows what technology it's projecting ..
It just seems SERIOUSLY OVER THE TOP for a small job that other companies do with less technology..
I don't get it
I installed it yesterday and the service is superb. He’s killing the competition. Good lad.
Yes, more power to him. And more and more…
Took a recent cruise on a ship equipped with starlink in the Gulf of Mexico. Was facetiming friends in the middle on the gulf with no issues. What a difference from 5 years ago.
That’s insane, what a time to be alive
Yay! How did we live and cruise 5 years ago without having to FaceTime anyone and just enjoy the cruise, is beyond me. Now you have no excuse to disconnect while on a cruise. You can even be available for work 24/7. Congratulations!
@@mpinline1 Enjoying being "imprisoned" on a floating hotel with thousands of other people? Damned, the things people enjoy...well, whatever floats your boat I guess! I'd rather fly to another country (where I can speak the language - so German or English...my Spanish isn't good enough yet) and rent a car there and explore :)
@@mpinline1 I think the same can be said when movie theatres started to be equipped in cruise ships decades ago. It's just a convenience option, you could very well choose not to use it.
I am laughing so hard, knowing now that you’re not even safe on a cruise ship from work. No more escaping. Are you following me ha ha ha.
Recently drove across the middle of australia, from Adelaide to Darwin and back, and had a starlink dish on the car. We were getting 10's or 100's of Mbps driving across some of the most remote places in the world. Every roadhouse we passed had a Starlink dish. Its basically the only way we could communicate out there.
How did you install Starlink dish on a car?
@@alexanderchenf1 Carefully
@@alexanderchenf1 Can't on small cars, but can on a small trailer. And simple on RVs.
Isn’t it great? I am a big fan of Elon. I work for Boeing. We could never do this. First the cost. Second we are too big and too dumb.
latency is bad tho, cant play like live racing or poker etc
As an offshore worker, I am super thrilled
Starlink is absolutely brilliant for the very sparse rural populations in NZ and Australia, as the constellation is sized for the much larger northern hemisphere populations. NZ, Australia, the island nations and mid-ocean shipping get city fibre-grade bandwidth and performance.
🤣🤣🤣
Sparse rural populations do not add up to a lot of people so it is a small market. That is the problem with Starlink, not enough subscribers.
Imagine being as much of a creator/maker as Elon Musk and then hating him because he’s simultaneously based and successful.

Another fake review.
What about the possible affect these are having on our human bodies as they Emmitt all that advanced technology and frequency across our homes and sky's nearly every night they travel these things by our homes.
@@rogerphelps9939not enough subscribers but yet such huge technology going across our sky's makes me HUGELY SUSPICIOUS on why he would even be allowed to do that?
I live in BFE, the fastest internet I could get was 1.5 Mbps until i got Starlink, now I get 100 Mbps - 200 Mbps consistently. It's been a game changers for me.
I remember being completely satisfied with 1.5mb. it could download a DVD movie in a few minutes. You must be doing some heavy duty downloading
@@FakeName1984if you have multiple family members streaming on multiple devices, or gaming, 100+Mbps is necessary
I thought my geography was good, but I've never heard of BFE.
Mr. O'Brien, Winston is free of get the bandwidth he wants.@@FakeName1984
@@FakeName1984 1.5 Mb would take upwards of ... napkin math here, 61 minutes for a 700MB dvd. Perhaps you're confusing megabits with megabytes. It's very slow. Even 1.5 megabytes per second is slow. You can get by if you're doing ordinary stuff, but if you're doing any work that involves uploading/downloading, especially uploading will be slow, work that might involve version control, web design, etc, or just downloading a 100gb game, it will be horrifically slow, and god forbid you have a business with multiple people trying to work, it would be glacial. Any kind of video calling would be out of the question too, the upload would be way too low.
I have had it for about 6-months now. I’m very happy with the service… allows me to work a remote IT job on 43 acres of affordable wilderness.

Internet coverage in some rural areas in Germany is so catastrophic that Starlink is my only hope moving forward.

"Catastrophic" internet coverage?
I grew up in a very rural area, and for most of my life no matter how much money we were willing to pay there wasn't a high speed internet that could get to us. My parents now pay for starlink and it has changed the game in rural areas, I can visit home and continue to work remotely, I could barely do my homework there in the past.
Roughly where and which country are you from?
Didn't know there are still rural areas with no high-speed fiber
@@Leo-ev9ss I work in communications, and there are definitely lots of places without. That has to do with cost of construction compared to possible customer count
@@Leo-ev9sswhat else don’t you know? 😂
@@Leo-ev9ssthere are many underserved high speed Internet services throughout the United States.
Maybe in US, in EU doesn't work, and to me looks like a lot of hype, if only in US you get something out of it. Maybe is worth is some remote area of the world, but only if it works, atm is not worth it.
Elon he is so smart man. He is the leader in this world. ❤❤😊
God bless and take care for Mr Musk ❤❤
Remote worker here, Starlink is wonderful!
Star link is a complete game changer. I used it on the cruise ships. It’s absolutely amazing.
Your own dish or did the ship have one? Because I've heard that cruise-lines charge an arm and a leg (and a kidney, too) if you want to use onboard WiFi!
The ship probably rented out the wifi@@dreamingflurry2729
It was a game changer at our off-grid cabin as well. It's amazing!
@@dreamingflurry2729 Has to be by the ship company. They do charge more but reasonable.
@@dreamingflurry2729ship had one
I live in a rural area in Ontario Canada that does not have anything high speed when it comes to the Internet. The best I could get was a 1Mb download speed on a DSL line that usually capped out at 250Kb. Finally bit the bullet and bought a Starlink dish. I have no regrets.
The funny thing though is I had a gent from Bell come to my house offering me Internet via wireless. He chimed on about how much better it would be than DSL. I stopped him part way through his sales pitch and told him I had Starlink. He said to me "Guess there's no point in talking to you any more", then turned and left. 🤣
If that dsl box on the outside of your house says Charles Industries on it .. I worked on that design when I was 25 .. about 33 years ago ...😂😂
This is a really great video. Really accurate, without hype and the common misreporting on controversial topics, including on the negative stuff. It's rare I see reporting get things this accurate.
In what universe is there absence of hype? Musk knows nothing else.
@@palindromic7873
1. The comment was about the video, not Elon.
2. He knows nothing else? So Tesla didn't sell 1.8 million cars last year and didn't make the best selling car in the world? SpaceX didn't launch 80% of all mass to orbit? Starlink doesn't exist?
I'm always amazed by people's capacity for ignoring reality.
My sis lives in a village in Italy, miles from anywhere. The only Internet connection was super slow DSL from Telecom Italia, which made working from home really difficult - e.g. having to fly backwards & forwards to London for meetings. Then Starlink came along. It's been a game changer: decent bandwidth & no problem with video conferencing, streaming etc. Word got around and now there are Starlink terminals popping up elsewhere in the neighborhood, which is all good for the local economy.
Thanks for your love care and support, it's my pleasure talking to you here. Where are you from?...............

that was always the goal behind starlink; to bring modern economies (and education) to places in the middle of nowhere. The education part is very exciting, kids in remote villages can get a real education now, assuming equipment is donated to them.
Starlink is one of the smartest moves by SpaceX. It generated huge demand for commercial rockets, which enables SpaceX to drive down cost even further.

SpaceX expected 20 million customers by 2022. They have 2 million right now. Smart guy for sure.
@@blakewisswell 1.4 and growing revenue per year is nothing to sneeze at.
@@MionwangYour analogy is so wrong. Space X rockets enable Starlink to achieve something called vertical integration which drives down costs. It's like someone planting corn to feed chicken which then lay eggs. The chicken provide market for the corn albeit at reduced costs. The same goes for Starlink. It provides market for Space X rockets at reduced costs.

One of the most important aspects of Starlink was barely mentioned in the video: Starlink is possible because SpaceX has a monopoly on reusable orbital boosters with Falcon 9. They are launching Starlink satellite stacks at cost on the most cost efficient orbital launch system ever made. Anyone that wants to build a competing LEO megaconstellation will need to launch with SpaceX, or find another provider that can solve reusable orbital launch at a large scale. The former would be awkward, the latter does not exist in 2023. The economics of trying to compete with Starlink on a like for like basis is just crazy to imagine.
For perspective, SpaceX has so far in 2023 launched 81 orbital missions on with a 100% success rate, the vast majority of which were on reused boosters (48 of those were Starlink). Their goal is to break 100 launches this year. The global total including SpaceX is 173 successful orbital launches for 2023 as of today.
Very important, well put.
NASA had every opportunity to innovate new launch technology, but the bureaucratic nature of federal entities. SpaceX and Starlink are innovating new technologies and deserve the market share they have, and if anyone wants to compete needs to do better.
The competitive nature of this will eventually drive down costs of space launching, satellite internet, and anything else that is tied to this.
Competition breeds innovation.
I hate how polarized anything Elon does, because it takes away from the work of the people behind the companies.
Love him or hate him. He has rapidly changed the car and space industry for the better. The private space industry has more investment then ever, and I'm rooting for all.
Starlink already has been a gamer changer for those who would otherwise be out even as flawed as it can be. So while I would never have a use for it at the moment it doesn't mean it isn't great.
I am more worried about people on earth than astrophysists.
I'm rooting for Starship that will get a second go I'm guessing since I keep seeing stuff on here.
Blue Orgins and such need to get their crap together too.
That is one thing about Space X that people don't give them credit for. They seem to keep rapidly moving forward, and are not afraid to fail or take risks to make the entire system better. I feel like other companies are too safe or something. Blue Orgins seems to be behind on many projects.
For me, it shows a huge lack of innovation from companies like blue origin, boeing, and others. Spacex has spent the least in tax payer $ and done the most with it. The others have failed time and again, and blamed invocations problems on the lack of money, when the real problem is poor leadership.
@@dianapennepacker6854 Elon is only polarizing because he doesn't actively help the people that don't like him.
those people aren't angry at what he is doing, just that he isn't doing it for them.
he does over promise like a used car salesman, but it's generally not him scamming people so much as keeping the hype up and pushing aggressive timelines.
but people do like to use that as ammo to take shots at him.
I go to a decently remote cabin ever year. About an hour from a city. Wifi has always been terrible because of the large mountain ranges blocking signal. Starlink arrived for us last year and it is incredible.
i would go to a remote cabin to live slower for a few days and unplug... why go anywhere if youre just gonna spend the same amount of time on the internet
I don't believe you, I tried it out, in Italy, in Spain and in Portugal, while travelling, it was terrible, and if it doesn't work well in EU, I strongly doubt it works in the rest of world, probably in US is the only place where it kind of works, or if you consider countries that have no or very bad coverage, maybe is worth in that case.
An hour from a city lol that ain't remote
Try phkin walkin it & then see if u still feel the same way........@@tylersmith9868

People bashed elon for turning it off in Ukraine but if you dig into it, it was actually the u.s who didn't authorize.
SpaceX biggest customer is the u.s military. Military is already using starling for personal reasons & are actively developing a closed data link system for U.S military use.
I work at Starlink as an engineer for our satellite communications. Yes, there are some downsides, but I believe internet access is a fundamental human right. Starlink allows access to internet in so many rural areas that ISPs are unwilling to put money into to build infastructure. Hopefully everybody on planet Earth can one day have access to internet, and Starlink can help make that goal a reality.
THIS
I’m in the process of interviewing for a role at McGregor that supports Starlink’s operations and this coupled with being a Starlink user is why I believe in the technology.
Keep up the good work.
yep if the Karens and NIMBYs of the world want to wage a war, it should be with greedy local ISPs unwilling to run a few miles of cable. Starlink is a necessity and that’s why no one can stop it

That is the USA for you. Famed for its stone age internet provision. The civilised world is a lot better.
I've owned Starlink for about 3 years now. mostly for my rural home in Colorado mountains plus taking with me in the RV. When they changed their agreement preventing me from roaming in RV, and increased the price and dropped the speed by 40% I paused the service and went back to my old wireless PTP service. I 'UN-pause' Starlink for traveling in the RV.
I really love the technology but not affordable where options are available. Realistically, that's how it was designed.
$150 for roaming , my home internet service is $110 . Starlink seems to be a reasonable price .

Thats a highly debatable thing ;). While Starlink has undoubtedly had a great positive impact, and will continue to be one, Tesla is his biggest impact by far, with SpaceX likely proving to match that in the future.
Spacex is miles above both. People will read history books and think it was silly to use gas cars not smart to use electric. Rockets on the other hand are a totally different planet.

A very well researched video. I'm glad the comments from Kari Bingen about Starlink and Ukraine. Most media outlets get the facts wrong. As for Starship, there have been delays but these are almost exclusively regulatory. Once that's resolved the pace of test launches will increase dramatically. The program is still moving at a more rapid pace than any comparable heavy lift rocket in history.
Just wanted to say that your comprehensive and informative videos don't go unnoticed!

I used to not comprehend what Starlink was going to become back in 2018, and whether it would be worth it, and it's quite scary how resonating their service is & needed as of today, just 5 years later!!
1 person dies a year from space debre? That may be the lowest number of any related death i have heard in my life
"Let us assume that SpaceX is lying to us and that the satellites meticulously designed to burn up in the atmosphere in fact come down to the ground as a lethal missile." No wonder SpaceX responded with a strongly worded letter.. 😆
Amazon will never be able to compete with starship unless BO develops their own completely reusable rocket. Thats not gonna happen anytime soon tho. Also it doesn’t really make sense for us Europeans to waste taxes like that. Would be much more efficient to just try to get some kind of deal with SpaceX. The only option would be to invest heavily into launch capacity and reduce launch cost, but that is in fact very expensive and it does not seem to be a priority.
The EU seems intent on maintaining ESA as a thing that exists, while being too busy being conservative to bother funding or allocating to ESA the resources and institutional capacity necessary to be anything more than a line item they can pat themselves on the back for maintaining the existence of.
What about new glenn? And ula Vulcan centaur?
@@liloheinrich8659 New Glenn won't be fully reuasable for some time, if at all. Originally, they were planning on only reusing the first stage, similar to Falcon 9, but they are working on a reuseable second stage, as well. We will just have to see if it becomes a reality.
Vulcan Centaur isn't looking like it will have any reuse. They have talked about SMART reuse, which is recovering the engine section and reusing that, but they don't seem to be working on it. And if they implement it, it's still less reuse than Falcon 9.
Being competitive with Falcon 9 works until Starship is operational, which may be next year.
@@liloheinrich8659 They are not FULLY reusable. Like Falcon 9. The upper stages burn up on reentry, so you have to build a new one every time. Of course, Falcon 9 has the enormous advantage of already existing and having huge launch numbers and reliability, evolved design and economics of scale because of it. But a fully reusable rocket like Starship is a different beast entirely, economically speaking.
@@RosscoAW There are political and global strategic reasons to have independent capabilities, but it is NOT cheap. As a not-so-fun fact, it is much better to have an east coast with a huge ocean outside it. Which is why Europe launches from a left-over piece of South American coastline from the former French empire. (My apologies to the proud people of French Guyana, but you know you would not have much of a space program as a historically independent nation.) Not ideal. Say what you will about Florida, but it is handy for space travel.

Whether you're a novice or seasoned investor, I'm here to offer insights and guidance to help you navigate the world of finance.
I’ve been using Starlink since April of 21 it’s a game changer for sure
We also were on the tail end of the beta (got a 1st Gen round "Dishy" in July 21) and couldn't agree more! Great, fast broadband that was otherwise unavailable to us at "The Ranch," plus no hassle billing, no data cap, and an awesome app that handles everything! And with the new 3rd generation router, we can stream throughout the house, out in the shop, even the barn! Life changing for sure! 🚀😎✌️
I just have normal internet,cost me just 30$ a month,its great,no need for starlink
While I do have a pretty good optic cable net connection, my brother who lives just couple of kilometers away is not so lucky. Our local providers just shrug at his requests for connection, pointing out that he lives too far away from main areas of our town. Building a separate line to connect him and couple of his nearest neighbors is simply not economic. More and more, Starlink looks like his only option to have decent connection in foreseeable future.
Yeah as a Canadian it's a double wammy, not only is it hard to get rural connections, the duopoly of rogers-bells absolutely screws customers over.
All I will say that as a retired Australian who loves travelling in our outback which vertically no phone or internet Starlink in my caravan is a total game changer thank you Elon
If there's a problem, you create a solution.
US Government: So you're saying... create a problem and sell a solution?
People: No...
I have had starlink for over a year now, it works great!!! We can watch 4 tvs, videoconference, and game on ps5 playing Call of Duty all at the same time. I think we have only had one small outage for a short time.
How is the ping for video games?
@@Spiderweb007 excellent i get 10-40 ms depending on how many people are using the wifi
@paragpatil5356 normally around 20ms. I know that there are faster ping speeds out there, but where I live, this is the fastest I can get. My previous provider wasn't that low.
your wallet must feel a lot lighter too 💸
@KerbalSpaceHD the upfront cost is expensive but worth the speed and bandwidth. $120 a month is competitive to what we were paying monthly.
Glad to see a balanced report from CNBC.
SpaceX has a huge head-start and will dominate all other entrants to this business like Tesla did for the BEV market.
Not st all,its all a house of cards!They just burn investors money forever!
A balanced report? This isn't a controversial topic
@@Burningarrow7you would be suprised what people can make controversial
Space industry isn't even close to fully blossoming yet, Elon will blow by the trillion dollar mark as SpaceX expands for decades to come.
@@Burningarrow7It's not that controversial but it is fairly common for the media to do a poor job reporting.
Starship flew today!
As a pilot to be able to have real time weather updates from ground based weather radar stations straight to my Avionics overlayed on the NAV MAP would be a game changer. Very much looking forward to this one day.
I don't think people here care about what a pilot wants from Starlink. Be happy with your onboard radar.
@@HansLiu23 cant wait until youre in a thunderstorm riding coach, you might want that pilot to have everything possible ,
Speed of Starlink is 50 - 250mbits/s, better than most cable internet in remote locations (if cable even exists there)
Mines 150mbps and it’s the max I can get and I live in a city
@@kadendoyle2759 I think 50 is enough for most gaming, though atm its still too expinsive for gamers to get, though 5-10 years down the line, it will be the next best thing to fiber optic
@@josephmath1usually the ping is much worse than cable.
@@kadendoyle2759 It isn't designed for cities with other services. If other services provide faster service, you should use those, not Starlink
@@MetallicReg What do you expect when the signals are coming from Space???? Cables are tethered to cables, booster stations and data centers.....
Having lived in the mountains for years, with at best super slow satellite internet , where streaming anything is out of the question, certainly no video calls or Zoom, StarLink is just short of a miracle. It’s like having hi speed internet in the city
The addendum at the end regarding Amazon and Blue Origin was just hilarious 😅 Blue Origin has yet to successfully launch a space going vessel! I'm sure SpaceX is quaking in their space boots 😂😂😂
This is shockingly balanced and unbiased. Well done, CNBC.
Has the guy saying the initial market has saturated ever looked at a subscription service or looked at the map of the countries they currently serve? It will be many years until the initial growth curve flattens out my guy.
Thanks for your love care and support, it's my pleasure talking to you here. Where are you from?......
Engaging in an individual option is fair but its performance level can’t generate high dividends. Diversification is the secret to optimal performance, that’s why I have my interest set on options based on projected growth and performance.
To create high dividends, it’s wrong to engage in a single option rather than diversify into various options with high performance coupled with the aid of a Pro will generate higher dividends
Do not lay your eggs in one basket.” I engage on various options with the aid of my pro, *JENNY PAMOGAS CANAYA* and so far have acquired so-much
I just searched *JENNY PAMOGAS CANAYA* out of curiosity, her profound dexterity looks too ideal for everyone on board!
This has been a game changer in remote locations in Alaska
Just got starlink last weekend and love it.
Amazon thinking it can compete with Starlink when Blue Origin can’t even get into orbit. 😂. By the time this happens, Space X will have the entire World using Starlink. I want Starlink service to be better than cable so I can kick my dumb cable provider to the curb.
Thanks for your love care and support, it's my pleasure talking to you here. Where are you from?....
Not gonna lie I want Starlink to monopolize satelite internet
True lol
@@aslamnurfikri7640why do you want a monopoly? Competition has always been good for innovation and consumers
I saw the Starlink array in the night sky and thought we were finally being conquered by aliens
Man is out here playing real-life Tony Stark 😂
starlink is awesome
i used it to stay connected and do my homework while at burning man this year. Game changer
We live in the middle of nowhere, off grid, and it amazes me at how little power this transceiver uses (while not melting snow), giving us more than 100MBits per second.
We do as well- live off grid way out in the mountains. Starlink made my son hella sick for 10months before we got rid of it to see if that was what was making him sick and sure enough, he got better real quick and never looked back!

Surprisingly balanced coverage! Only some minor slipus. Great job!
GREAT video explaining virtually every perspective of every aspect of Starlink
Its absolutely amazing i didnt get these speeds when i lived in a city. My previous speeds were between 500kps and 5 mbps dependent on which way the wind was blowing.
The disadvantaged humans from rural area group also extends to third world counties. Right now they might not have that much purchasing power, but in a few years this will be a HUGE market and also enable them access to the internet and thusly education.
Internet is over hyped those so called third world countries I wish they stay away from it because look at up people in the so called first world countries we are hooked to our phones and internet like bunch of lost souls. Those so called third world countries in my mind are first world countries and in a lot of way to be honest.
a dish shared in a village is definitely possible, and would cost like 1 dollar per person, unless they stream movies, but most of the useful things like books and research can be done with a single mbps per person.
My only option for decent internet is Starlink. It actually works pretty good. I use it for online gaming and its fast enough to enjoy FPS games. I have been using it for 2 months and so far only 1 time the internet was down for about an hour. Other than that, no issues
I was in the final beta tests for SL out here in rural western Montana. It changed how my family and I were able to use the net. Still using it today
Starlink is wonderful. I live in Canada and in the boreal forest 53 degrees north and yet I am totally connected to the world. It took 2 hours from opening the package mounting it on the roof and being on line ! The alternative would be a super slow service. Starlink is more pricy but I am very satisfied out here in the forest!
This week it has started Starlink services to Maldives as well.
costs an arm and a leg though
@@KerbalSpacey true. But Dhiraagu and Ooredoo have stolen our kidneys even. So compared to that 100-200mbps without throttle speed for $77 sounds good.
@@naaish9161 $77 is pretty decent but I don't know how it stacks up relative to living costs there, cheapest I've seen it so far 😋

Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for truth.
I live in the woods of Maine and 15 years ago our area had dial up internet, we now have DSL which is incredibly slow. There is no cell service here. Starlink has brought our area more into alignment with populated areas in terms of infrastructure.
We got starlink about 1 year ago and will never look back! Is has been absolutely amazing, we live in a very rural area in California so access to an ISP is limited. So limited in fact that until the advent of starlink we only had one. They were very expensive and the max downloads we could achieve were 50Mbps down. Starlinks initial start up cost is high but the speeds and reliability are far better then what we were getting. We average 250Mpbs down with speeds as high as 300, the lowest we get is 50 which is the highest we were getting with our local ISP, this makes streaming and downloading effortless. If you’re on the fence I would highly recommend doing it.
Thanks for your love care and support, it's my pleasure talking to you here. Where are you from...................
About success: (I'm also radio amateur) I was baffled this year in Mallorca - in only one year so many ships are now carrying starlink antennas is mindblowing. And I assume to be much more.
Many like to have internet services - often in harbors or at anchor. Compare the invest costs of a regular service like Intelsat (I know not completely compareable) >$10,000 to starlink and then the monthly costs - they may harm that 'old' services hard.
It's amazing to think that people getting lost out in the oceans or in rural areas of the planet will mostly be a thing of the past because everyone will essentially has access to satellite radio.
right up untill the moment your battery goes flat
Well, of course, there are going to be exceptions but i would imagine that people who are going into the middle of the ocean or out in the middle of nowhere are going to bring extra batteries incase such events happen as a precaution but there will always be darwin award winners who will bring less batteries to save some money for their trip. @@kiwidiesel
incorrect - this has always been the case; any naval vessel laid down since the early 1990s that's classed to traverse the world's oceans is already outfitted with satellite comms as mandated by the IMO
Naval vessels? I'm talking about average citizens freely traveling through exploration on land and water with no signal, navel vessels have always had state of the art communications systems. @@leeterthanyou
@@leeterthanyou true but this goes beyond large vessels, this applies to anyone with a cell phone on the planet. Starlink V2s will allow existing phones to send text messages from anywhere on earth apparently. I know there's ELTs or whatever the boat and hiking equivalent are called, but those systems are finicky and not too reliable. A small boat that gets pulled out to sea will soon be able to text its gps coordinates to any rescuer, as long as they have phone battery. And obviously it applies to hikers in remote areas. I wouldn't be surprised if future rescue beacons use the starlink network in addition to the existing satellite systems
Billions of internet 👥 users, Starlink can generate money 💵 that can surpass all expectations. Starlink has no competition.
