SpaceX's Starlink broadband service is expanding its capabilities and reach, with recent developments highlighting its impact in different sectors and regions. On March 13, 2024, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) granted SpaceX access to E-band radio waves, enhancing the Starlink broadband service's capabilities. In Sudan, where weeks of blackouts caused by war between rival military factions have left residents cut off from mobile networks, Starlink satellite connections are being used to regain internet access. This has been particularly noted in Omdurman, one of the areas hardest hit by the conflict. Additionally, on March 14, 2024, Citadel Completions partnered with Starlink to improve airplane internet service, demonstrating the service's growing influence in the aviation industry. Passengers on flights equipped with Starlink are now able to stream content seamlessly, marking a significant improvement in in-flight connectivity.
