The company has successfully deployed approximately 1,800 satellites, Shotwell said. Once they enter a working orbit, the whole world will have uninterrupted global access to the Internet, she explained.
Thereafter Starlink will start working with regulators to “enter each country and obtain permission to provide telecommunications services.”
Starlink is a project of SpaceX’s near-earth satellite system for cheap and high-speed Internet. The FCC has given SpaceX permission to launch 12,000 satellites of this type, which are built for a full-scale network designed to provide the inhabitants of the Earth with broadband Internet access anywhere in the world.
Shotwell confirmed that the project Starlink plans to deploy 12,000 satellites worth about $ 10 billion.
