What is Starlink?
A unique project of SpaceX, another company of Tesla company owner Elon Musk, has been started to provide internet through Starlink Satellite. Musk has also successfully started this project in many cities. It now appears that Musk is planning to start it in India by 2022 as well. In the Starlink project, the company can provide internet service to any corner of the world through satellite. Starlink is a satellite internet network. The network will consist of thousands of small satellites connected to ground transceivers. By May 2019, SpaceX had set a total of 60 operational satellites to lower orbit and the company plans to increase this figure to 42,000 satellites by mid-2027. According to a CNBC report, by January SpaceX had launched more than 1,000 Starlink high-speed Internet satellites.
Countries with Starlink
According to some online reports, Starlink users in the US, Australia and Mexico get a connection kit for $ 499 (about Rs. 36,400). Apart from this, they have to pay $ 99 rent per month. Pre-order is currently in India for $ 99, but it is possible that customers will have to pay a separate price for the kit. CNBC’s report states that customers in the UK (United Kingdom) have to pay £ 89 (around Rs 9,000) a month and initially £ 439 (around Rs 44,600) for a kit when taking a connection. The kit includes a Starlink as well as a Wi-Fi router, power supply, cable and mounting tripod.
Starlink is definitely not a cheap deal. It remains to be seen whether Elon Musk manages to revolutionize the broadband industry in India. It will also have to see how much impact Starlink has on Reliance Jio, Airtel and BSNL.
