Almost 1.3 billion rely on the internet for their daily needs. Whether its a quick news or checking the grocery list or a simple to-do list, Internet has got it all done. Nowadays, People depend on the internet for every single need. To summarise this further, Internet has made life easier.

Imagine if a large portion of the world population cannot have access to the internet or if they have but at an extremely expensive cost. Wouldn’t that it be unfair or devastating? Almost 47% of the world’s population don’t use the internet (which is approximately 3.6 billion people). The main reason behind this is the lack of internet coverage.

Is there any solution to this? Would this problem of lack of internet end?

Yes, the answer is Yes. According to Investfoxy, There comes SpaceX’s Starlink that is aimed to provide internet access to almost every person in the world even in extremely remote areas.

Starlink is a satellite-based internet service providing system that provides low latency, high-speed broadband internet wirelessly. Starlink provides internet without the hassle of using fiber optics cables i.e. it is much less complex.

According to Starlink, During the beta, users can expect to see data speeds vary from 50Mb/s to 150Mb/s and latency from 20ms to 40ms in most locations over the next several months as we enhance the Starlink system. There will also be brief periods of no connectivity at all.
