The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has authorised Elon Musk’s SpaceX to use its Starlink satellite internet system on moving vehicles such as cars, trucks, boats, and planes
Along with SpaceX, the FCC has approved Kepler Communications, paving the way for a new class of user terminals that can connect to broadband-beaming satellites while moving, according to the Verge.
“Authorising a new class of terminals for SpaceX’s satellite system will expand the range of broadband capabilities to meet the growing user demands that now require connectivity while on the move, whether driving an RV (recreational vehicle) across the country, moving a freighter from Europe to a US port, or while on a domestic or international flight,” FCC international bureau chief Tom Sullivan, said in a statement on Thursday.
I don't want any of that shit in my ride.
Yeah but on an airplane would be nice though.
It doesn't really make sense for most cars and wont be practical anyway due to population/satellite density in urban areas. I would imagine some trucking equipped. This IS a big deal for planes and boats who are still stuck with legacy sat operators and data capped or still paying per MB.
You already have 5G all over the place, tho
I use verizon hot spot currently, but there are lots of truck stops with little to no signal
Not here, yet, although they are trying. A lot of the times we are lucky to keep 3G lol
