How Starlink and other satellite services will change shape to the Internet

The new generation of "orbital" internet served by satellites is taking shape, with Starlink leading the sprint.

READ IN:

We are so focused on the bizarre (and perhaps specious) controversy between Elon Musk and "yes, I want it / no, I don't want it" Twitter, that we have forgotten other fronts.

No I'm not saying the whole Twitter thing was a diversion from Musk to sell Tesla stock. I'm talking about other projects that in the meantime continue to make progress: one above all? Starlink, the satellite network, "rib" (or chop, if you prefer) of SpaceX who wants to transform the internet. And it can do it seriously, other than optical fiber.

In the past six months, the American tycoon's "orbital internet" service has not only received "blessings" from half the world due to the visual pollution of its (already over 2400) satellites. It has also been launched in 9 new countries, and presented both a new internet service for vehicles (and the ships) that a premium version , you can find it on the official website of its package. Which incidentally is already expensive than him, and has already made millions and millions of dollars.

Starlink's satellites "scratch the sky". They are polluting and expensive, but they could completely change the face of the internet.

Starlink and his brothers: the space internet is getting closer and closer

New Starlink satellites are launched regularly, and the dream of a low-orbit Internet is only getting closer. This does not mean that Starlink is meeting all the premises. The service still has reliability problems, especially if you are near trees, not to mention the visual pollution I mentioned above.

What is relevant at the moment, however, is that such an avant-garde is dragging (and will inevitably drag) new operators in the sector: at the moment at least two others. Which? Oneweb and Amazon (with his Kuiper project) are advancing on the same path as the satellite internet.

The bizarre AI that translates the language of chickens

In summary: an entire generation of services is emerging that provide Internet connections via satellites in low earth orbit. This will completely change the shape of the web as we know it now, taking it everywhere in the most "developed" countries, and to anyone in the communities that are little or no reached today.

To the sky, it will bring a constellation of satellites that will drive astronomers crazy, and to the posteris it will bring a lot, too much space debris as a dowry.
