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.
Problem with cable is the upstream is very limited. I got 500/500 fiber for $49. Of course, all that really means is people could steal my data really really fast! LOL
