I’m no Musk fan but this tech is a game changer for anyone not living in North America or Europe. Even Australians stand to benefit.

Anyone who lives any sort of distance from NA and Europe understands the physical limitation of the speed of light through a glass medium.

Also the satellites are in low earth orbit so quick decay is meant to happen. Also solar activity happens often, and any manner of craziness because it’s space after all.

SpaceX and Oneweb have changed the satellite game. They have developed low cost highly deployable satellites. The immense amount of engineering is really a feat of human endeavour.

Oh, and SpaceX isn’t the only company doing this. There are several other companies trying to get similar projects off the ground.

Im really hoping that this takes off. Low latency, fast internet, not dependent on electricity infrastructure I really hope starlink comes to fruition.
