SpaceX’s goal is to put nearly 11,000 Starlink satellites in low Earth orbit between now and the mid-2020s, providing high-speed internet access to areas of the planet where broadband is rare, spotty or non-existent. This first launch is really just a small part of a long process, and that’s provided everything goes according to plan. When the internet service launches it will be called Starlink.
The project is expected to cost around $10 billion. How much subscription to the service will cost has not been announced or I could not find the information if it has been announced. Part of the ongoing cost of the project will be to launch new satellite as well as removing dead satellites from orbit.
The cost of internet service for many in the United States, in many areas, is getting more costly and the service is getting more sorry with speeds no where near what users are being advertised. In addition to the sorry companies that many consumers have to deal with, local governments lie to their citizens. They pretend like they are all about improving internet service in their area, but then they don’t. What they do is based on those false promises, they increase taxes on the services that consumers have to pay. The elite media tied in with the local gangsters put much of the focus on the President or Congress while they either ignore or are afraid to report on the local gangster run governments. Many people do not even realize how many different ways these local gangsters have their hands in their pocketbooks, ripping them off.
Will Elon Musk succeed where others have failed? I don’t know. The gangsters are already attacking him on many fronts with the elite media cheering the gangsters on.
