“Our license applications are pending in many more countries. Hoping to serve Earth soon” said Elon Musk.
SpaceX unveiled Starlink’s beta service in late 2020. Then you can use the service for only at $ 99 per month. Although the terminal is not associated with the monthly fee.
Using Starlink’s services requires a starter kit, along with a terminal such as antenna dish, stand and power supply, and a WiFi router. And these have to be bought for an additional $ 499. It is necessary to buy this starter kit before taking the service.
Starlink’s journey began with the goal of providing Internet service in the marginalized areas of the world where Internet service is scarce or not available at all. Last July, the company said it had supplied 90,000 terminals. The company has gained 10,000 more customers in just three weeks.
