* Starlink could bring cheap, fast Internet to remote areas as well as moving vehicles like airplanes, ships and cars. It would also make international teleconferencing and online gaming nearly lag-free. The plan calls for launching nearly 12 000 satellites into orbit, but CEO Elon Musk said a fraction of that would be required to start selling service. According to Musk, initial service may be up and running in about a year, with global service a few months after that, and profitable service about 1 000 satellites a few months later.
