Elon Musk's Starlink is set to revolutionize internet access for remote and underserved areas worldwide. Starlink, a satellite internet service under SpaceX, aims to provide high-speed internet connectivity to rural and remote locations where traditional internet services are either unavailable or prohibitively expensive. With millions of people, including those in Indonesia's remote islands, expecting to gain internet access with the slated launch on Sunday, Starlink's potential impact is significant. The service promises to deliver internet speeds comparable to wired broadband, overcoming the limitations of previous satellite technologies. Starlink's deployment has already begun in various regions, including Italy and the UK, where it is expected to boost connectivity for mobile customers in rural blackspots. In remote areas like Alaska, wifi can cost $10k+ a month. The initiative is seen as a game-changer, with the potential to move the GDP of countries by providing access to the world's information and educational resources. Currently, about 4,000,000,000 people are not connected to the internet.
Mom, this man is on a mission to connect the world to the best internet. Dad, this technology will literally move the GDPs of countries. This company’s name is Starlink, it lives under SpaceX, and the founder’s name is Elon Musk. https://t.co/NAX9NnCd5L

Man: “Is it true that Starlink will really move our country GDP in this direction?” Elon: “Yes, as more & more people in your country get connected to Starlink, it surely will. That’s how much of a game changer this product is.” https://t.co/IFjpal0xfo

Amazing to see Elon make Starlink a viable business out of a busted 2000s era Satellite internet model (see: Globalstar). Leadership, platform and messaging really matter. Now if he could do that for X, that would be great.

Despite all his crap, this is absolutely true. Unlike previous satellite technology, you can bring real accessible Internet (including Internet phone calls) to virtually anywhere in the world not currently connected to the modern world. https://t.co/drD9qXwMh4

It's hard to overstate how Starlink has revolutionized Internet access to remote locations. Previous geosynchronous satellites only sorta worked, Starlink actually works almost as well as wired broadband Internet. https://t.co/BpYCbA0OY2
