Elon Musk’s satellite Internet will soon work in Europe, Australia, and South America

According to the source, SpaceX’s interaction with regulators in Mexico, Germany, Greece, France, Australia, Argentina, and Chile is full. This means that in these countries, the satellite Internet of the Starlink system will work soon. Probably by the end of the year.

The second line of countries – in which negotiations between SpaceX and local regulators have begun but are still at an early stage. These include the Caribbean, Austria, Spain, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Philippines, India, Japan, South Africa, Brazil, and Colombia. In these countries, documents have not yet been submitted to register SpaceX as an Internet service provider.

According to Elon Musk, regardless of the country or region, the cost of Internet access in the Starlink system will be the same for everyone. At the moment, it is $ 100 per month. Some movement is possible in terms of price, but they will be due only to local taxes or some other national pricing peculiarities for Internet providers.
