Elon Musk’s Starlink poised to shake up Australia’s broadband – Sydney Morning Herald
The unpredictable entrepreneur stands on the cusp of disrupting Australia’s broadband business.
So far SpaceX has put 1200 Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit, 310 craft this year alone.
As the number of satellites grows, the coverage and service levels are expected to improve, too.
The company has US government approval to launch nearly 12,000 satellites, some into higher orbits. Part of the disruptive effect of SpaceX, Musks better-known company, is its ability to drive down the cost of launching gear into low-Earth-orbit by reusing rockets, which alters the economics of launch.
