SpaceX is working to build the world’s most advanced satellite broadband internet network, which consists of launching at least 12,000 satellites that will beam internet data globally while orbiting Earth. To date, the aerospace company has launched approximately 1,892 satellites to Low Earth Orbit that provide internet service to over 140,000 customers living in rural areas across 20 countries, including Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Chile, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Switzerland, United States, and United Kingdom. Service could be available as soon as early next year in Brazil and other parts of Latin America.
SpaceX is working to obtain regulatory approval to sale its broadband service on a global-scale. The ambitious endeavor requires personally submitting service information and proposals to hundreds of government-operated regulatory agencies. SpaceX Starlink representatives met with Pakistan Telecommunication Authority to discuss connecting the country to the satellite internet network.
