SpaceX Finally Has Enough Satellites to Offer Internet Service, According to Elon Musk
By now you've heard the news: Elon Musk is opening up Starlink satellite internet service to "beta" customers.
In an email that apparently went out Monday, SpaceX promised beta users of its Starlink service broadband internet service that will:
Granted, 50 Mbps may not sound very fast, especially at $99 a month, when Comcast will sell you 200 Mbps for less than $50. And the "brief periods of no connectivity" bit does sound disconcerting. But as SpaceX drolly describes its service, even just the beta version of Starlink is "better than nothing." And in time, the company could ramp its speeds to 1 gigabyte per second or better, and potentially charge as little as $80 per month, as SpaceX puts more and more Starlink satellites in orbit.
