SpaceX Starlink: Sign Up Open For Elon Musk's Internet Offering 1 Gbps Speed
SpaceX is inviting sign ups to experience Starlink high-speed internet like never before.
Elon Musk has been in the news for all the good reasons.
Last month SpaceX successfully took astronauts to the ISS aboard Crew Dragon Endeavour shuttle and off recently, he¡¯s been sending constellation of Starlink satellites in space one after another.

Just this weekend, Musk¡¯s SpaceX launched 58 new Starlink satellites into space, bringing the total number of satellites in space to 540 as of now.
Reported first by ZDNet, now, SpaceX is inviting people to sign up to be one of the first to experience high-speed internet like never before. In case you didn¡¯t know, Starlink satellite constellation in space promises to offer 1Gbps internet speeds to places that don¡¯t have access to fast internet connectivity, and offer this at a relatively reasonable price point -- at par or even cheaper than some ISPs.
People can now head to Starlink¡¯s official website and sign up in the section which states ¡®Get Updates on Starlink news and services available in your area.¡¯ It also possesses the option to select India from the list.
SpaceX Starlink's global mission
Elon Musk plans to start Starlink internet services in the US and Canada from this year and expects to almost cover the entire world by the end of 2021.
According to SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk, SpaceX needs about 400 Starlink satellites to provide "minor" coverage and 800 for "moderate" coverage. The initial target is arousing 12,000 satellites.
Recently, SpaceX also sought permission from US FCC for launching 30,000 more satellites as a part of its Gen2 system.

The application stated, ¡°More than 85% of this system will operate at very low altitudes below 400 km, using eight total orbital altitudes ranging from 328 km to 614 km. Just as large deployments of new densified 5G networks are helping those in more urban environments, the densified satellite constellation SpaceX proposes will substantially increase capacity and drive up the number of consumers even in rural and remote areas with access to truly robust broadband.¡±
In case your location becomes one of the few activated to get high-speed internet access, you¡¯ll require a user terminal -- a dish like your D2H dish on the rooftop to connect to super-fast internet.
