The FCC has granted Elon Musk's SpaceX a license for up to a
million terminals that will allow Starlink satellites to deliver
broadband service. The decision was shown in a public notice
from the FCC on March 18. “Granting this application would serve
the public interest by helping to speed broadband deployment
throughout the United States by authorizing the ground-based
component of SpaceX’s satellite system,” says the FCC.
GeekWire reports that
Starlink satellites are being made at the SpaceX facilities in
Washington, at a rate of 6 per day. 360 satellites have been
launched, with thousands more to come. The service is slated to
begin in 2020.
