SpaceX has built a mass of xo about a thousand satellites circulating approximately 340 miles overhead, and the creation of this constellation puts SpaceX into a "deep gap" of costs, according to CEO Elon Musk. The constellation also raised concerns. About collisions in space and their impact on astronomers' ability to study the night sky But for early customers of the $ 99 per month Starlink service, satellites are improving the way rural communities access the Internet.With the latest launch of SpaceX last week, which has 60 more internet satellites into space, the company's Starlink Internet constellation has grown with around 1,000 active satellites, the largest in orbit while SpaceX owns about a third of all active satellites in space.More Starlink satellites were in orbit last year than all rocket carriers in the world launched in 2019.

 

SpaceX has promised that its satellite fleet will bring low-cost high-speed Internet to the masses, sending data to every corner of the world.The company now says it has around 10,000 customers, proving that Starlink is no more "theory and experiment". Next, the company said in the Feb. 4 filing of the Federal Communications Commission.For comparison, Verizon, one of the most popular fiber optic Internet providers, has more than 6 million customers.Steve Opfer, a Starlink beta tester participant who is a manager of chipmaker Broadcom (AVGO), which works out of rural Wisconsin, said he. "Couldn't be happier" with his service, reflecting what dozens of beta testers have. Speak in an online forum Whether Starlink will become a sustainable business remains to be seen, Musk noted in a tweet Tuesday morning that the company "had to go through a deep gap in negative cash flow over the next year or so to give Starlink the potential to become a sustainable business." finance"

 

He also echoed the idea of ​​one day taking SpaceX's Starlink business to the public, saying it could happen. Musk had said last year that the company had a "zero idea" about its IPO. Starlink The Starlink network is the largest and most meaningful attempt in history to build a low-latency local Internet service for consumers, and Musk noted on Tuesday that several previous attempts to build it. The network has been abandoned or went bankrupt. (Latency means Delayed or delayed times created in Internet services) Systems that require data to travel longer distances, such as traditional internet satellites orbiting thousands of miles from Earth, create longer delays. Low Earth orbiting constellations such as Starlink aim to significantly reduce latency by orbiting a large network of satellites just a few hundred miles from the ground.

 

This idea has a reviewer. For example, fiber-optic Internet service providers are driving a federal decision to provide $ 885.5 million in a SpaceX grant.Professional astronomers are also concerned about light pollution. And the number of satellites that make up the StarLink constellation - and other networks planned by companies such as OneWeb and Amazon - have raised space experts concerned about traffic jams and the risk of collisions that can cause debris. garbage This is where those controversies arose and what SpaceX has done in response to critics.Rural broadbandSpaceX and the FCC are in a hurry after the company received nearly $ 900 million in subsidies through the FCC's Rural Digital Opportunity Fund, despite opposition from traditional telecoms and even some regulators.Some beta testers have reported top production line speeds. But towards the end of 2020, they also found intermittent downtime as SpaceX had not launched enough satellites to guarantee continued coverage.

 

It remains to be seen how inexpensive SpaceX's service will be,  reported in October, citing an email shared with people who expressed an interest in being a Starlink customer that the service could cost around 99. $ 500 per month, plus a one-time fee of around $ 500 for routers and antennas, SpaceX has not disclosed pricing or terms of service for Starlink.Musk said in a tweet on Tuesday that if Starlink didn't fail, "end-user costs will improve year after year," but many continued to argue that the network will eventually be too expensive to provide traditional Internet services. Changing the paradigm SpaceX has advertised.However, beta testers such as Opfer argue that Starlink is a much better improvement than what many residents of rural areas are familiar with.Prior to Starlink, he and his wife relied on HughesNet or ViaSat, a traditional internet provider with satellites. A large scale orbiting thousands of miles from Earth, the services are known to be overwhelmed by frustrating delays or high latencies.
