Elon Musk’s space company has accused its taxpayer-backed rival OneWeb of seeking to slow down the launch of satellite internet services designed to fix broadband blackspots. SpaceX has told Ofcom that the regulator’s proposals to force co-operation between competing space companies could cause unnecessary delays to its Starlink service and hold up the rollout of

It would not be unfair to say that the US telcos have failed to provide high-quality telecommunications services in recent years. The same has been pointed out repeatedly by various independent telecom firms. Speedcheck also presented a comparative analysis of South Korea and the US telecom industry in July.

By Kelcee Griffis (October 13, 2021, 7:05 PM EDT) — The Federal Communications Commission can’t use the goal of expanding rural broadband as a trump card to approve projects like SpaceX’s massive Starlink satellite internet constellation without properly vetting them, a rival satellite provider has told the D.C.

Suddenly, everyone wants to be in satellite broadband. The FCC is considering an application from Boeing to launch and operate a satellite broadband constellation of 147 satellites.

One of the next big upgrades in telecom will involve satellites firing lasers at each other—to beam data, not blow stuff up. The upside of replacing traditional radio-frequency communication with lasers, that encode data as pulses of light, can be much like that of deploying fiber-optic cable for terrestrial broadband: much faster speeds and much
On a call last December with Ajit Pai, the Federal Communications Commission’s chairman at the time, Mr. Musk said that if the commission considered a proposal to begin the process of opening up a certain swath of wireless frequencies for ground-based 5G service, it would pose a threat to his Starlink satellite network, according to
Starlink, a global satellite broadband company, is planning to enter the Indian market very soon. The satcom company has a mobile application for both iOS and Android users. This mobile app is called “Starlink” and can be downloaded through the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.

At the Code Conference last week, Elon Musk responded to a lawsuit filed by fellow billionaire Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin, telling Kara Swisher that “you cannot sue your way to the moon.” It’s the latest in an escalating battle between the world’s two richest men over their efforts to send people into space. As you might expect, Bezos had a few words in response to Musk’s comment. Interestingly, however, it wasn’t Blue Origin that responded. It was Amazon–which is weird because I wasn’t aware that the company was planning to start shipping packages to the moon. “SpaceX has a long
To find your position on the earth’s surface there are a variety of satellite-based navigation systems in orbit above us, and many receiver chipsets found in mobile phones and the like can use more than one of them. Should you not wish to be tied to a system produced by a national government though, there’s now an alternative. It comes not from an official source though, but as a side-effect of something else.

Following a share sale last week, Elon Musk’s SpaceX has been valued to be over $100 billion, which roughly translates to Rs. 75,30,000 crores. Investors in the rocket manufacturing company sold privately held stocks worth up to $755 million and as only existing shares were sold, the company did not have to raise capital, as reported by CNBC. The shares were sold at a price of $560 per share, which is a 33% rise from the share value at $410.33 in February 2021. The company was last evaluated to be worth $74 billion earlier this year. Along with the deal,

SpaceX has closed a new funding round that puts it at a valuation of $100 billion. The reports of the new valuation is based on an agreement between new and existing investors and puts SpaceX among the highest valued privately owned companies. The agreement raises $755 million at $516 per share in private stock, an increase per share over the $419.99 per share price of SpaceX’s last fundraising round in February, which raised $815 million to develop Starlink and Starship. According to Forbes, Elon Musk owned 48% of SpaceX before this most recent funding round. As typical for Elon Musk’s
After investors sold stocks earlier this week, Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s space exploration technology company SpaceX has been valued at more than 100 billion US dollars. According to a number of people familiar with the matter, SpaceX has reached an agreement with the company’s new and existing investors to sell up to $755 million in stock from insiders at a price of $560 per share. This allowed the company to increase its valuation to $100.3 billion. This transaction was a secondary sale of existing stocks, and they did not raise new funds from it.

A nationwide rollout for satellite internet service Starlink begins later this month, according to SpaceX CEO Elon Musk. Musk made the statement after he previously mentioned that Starlink is set to exit its beta phase sometime in October. On Thursday, a Twitter user asked what this might mean for U.S. consumers, particularly those based in the south. “Starlink beta is ending this month as stated, will we see more of the southern states (Louisiana, Texas, etc.) roll outs?” the user wrote. In response, Musk tweeted: “Should be nationwide rollout by end of month. Note, still limited by peak number of users

According to a surprising report issued by Space.com, companies around the world are set to send huge numbers of satellites into space to offer worldwide high internet connectivity in the next couple years. And this connectivity comes at the risk of the space’s cleanliness. It will taint cosmic studies and pollute the skies. A group of researchers has also analyzed the consequences of these spacecraft and studied potential mitigating techniques. They’ve projected that astronomy will end in a catastrophic situation. The mega-constellations that will launch into Earth orbit in the next few years include Starlink, OneWeb, Kuiper, and SatNet. Each
The rise of the mega-constellations has set a new precedent in orbital congestion, simply as a result of the increased number of satellites. But that is only part of the story: it’s also an issue of regulation and planning which, as Stuart Eves explains, includes the esoteric topic of frequency coordination. For the past decade or so, the US military has pointed out that the space environment is increasingly “Congested, Contested and Competitive”. Although it was always recognised that commercial space activities contributed to the “three Cs”, the implicit focus from a US military perspective has always been on the

Tech billionaire and SpaceX founder Elon Musk believes satellite and mobile broadband operators “must collaborate and not compete with one another” to ensure 100% broadband coverage in India and improve the quality of peoples’ lives, Sanjay Bhargava, the newly appointed India head of SpaceX’s Starlink operation, said. In his first exclusive interaction with media, Bhargava told ET that his immediate mandate, following an hour-long meeting with Musk, is to engage with CEOs of India’s top telcos, banks, hospitals, academic institutions and NGOs to ink potential collaboration pacts to boost rural broadband connectivity. “He’s (Elon Musk) very clear in his vision
Satellite internet is often the only option in mountainous, rural, and other sparsely populated regions. Traditionally, satellite internet solutions are pricier than both landlines and mobile internet. At the same time, it is notable for a high latency connection, making it a poor choice for online gamers. This is all changing as Elon Musk’s Starlink network of satellites is steadily deployed across the planet’s orbit. Find out what it brings to the table compared to traditional satellite service providers—Viasat and HughesNet. What Makes Starlink Different From Regular Satellite Providers? When it comes to deploying communication devices into the Earth’s orbit,
