Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, requested Starlink service from Elon Musk, and at 2:45 pm on the 26th, Elon Musk tweeted "Starlink service is now active in Ukraine. More terminals en route." On February 28 at 12:29 pm, Fedorov posted a photo of a truckload of terminals. (Kyiv is 10 hours ahead of California) and an engineer, Oleg Kutkov, posted the first tweet from Ukraine. </p> <div class="postInfo pipedLinks"> <ul> <li>By <a href="https://circleid.com/members/7705" class="blue">Larry Press</a></li> <li>Comments: 0</li> <li>Views: 5,367</li> </ul> </div> <h3><a href="/posts/constraints-on-satellite-broadband-starlink">Constraints on Satellite Broadband: Starlink Alone Unable to Meet Rural Broadband Demand</a></h3> <div class="byLine"> Feb 18, 2025 11:32 AM PST </div> <p> <img src="/images/member_photos/photo_8383.jpg" border="0" width="80" alt="" /> In a 2024 end-of-year memo, Gary Bolton of the Fiber Broadband Association said that FBA had partnered with the consulting firm Cartesian to look at the pros and cons of Starlink in the U.S. FBA says that report shows that Starlink currently has 1.4 million customers in the U.S., and with the current satellite constellation has the capacity to serve 1.7 million customers. </p> <div class="postInfo pipedLinks"> <ul> <li>By <a href="https://circleid.com/members/8383" class="blue">Doug Dawson</a></li> <li>Comments: 0</li> <li>Views: 7,758</li> </ul> </div> <h3><a href="/posts/starlink-vs-kuiper-the-satellite-broadband-race-for-space-and-subscribers">Starlink vs. Kuiper: The Satellite Broadband Race for Space and Subscribers</a></h3> <div class="byLine"> Jan 21, 2025 1:54 PM PST </div> <p> <img src="/images/member_photos/photo_8383.jpg" border="0" width="80" alt="" /> Strand Consult published an article on its website that makes numerous predictions for broadband and related industries in 2025 and compares them to the company's 2024 predictions. It's fascinating and well worth reading. There is one prediction in particular that got me thinking. In its 2024 predictions, Strand Consult compared Elon Musk's Starlink to Jeff Bezos' Kuiper and said that Bezos had opened a burger bar while Musk runs an interstellar McDonald's. The 2025 observation agrees with that assessment. </p> <div class="postInfo pipedLinks"> <ul> <li>By <a href="https://circleid.com/members/8383" class="blue">Doug Dawson</a></li> <li>Comments: 0</li> <li>Views: 6,518</li> </ul> </div> <h3><a href="/posts/guowang-finally-launches-ten-large-production-satellites">Guowang Finally Launches Ten Large Production Satellites</a></h3> <div class="byLine"> Jan 05, 2025 9:08 AM PST </div> <p> <img src="/images/member_photos/photo_7705.jpg" border="0" width="80" alt="" /> In April 2020, The Chinese State Council's executive meeting declared information technology, including satellite Internet, an important part of the "new technology," and in October, China applied for Guowang, a 12,992-satellite Internet service constellation. Subsequently, a few Guowang test satellites were launched, and two other large Chinese constellations were announced, and one, Thousand Sails, already has 54 satellites in orbit. (Thousand Sails launches have had problems with debris and orbit raising, which attests to the immaturity of the Chinese space industry). Finally, Guowang has launched its first production satellites. </p> <div class="postInfo pipedLinks"> <ul> <li>By <a href="https://circleid.com/members/7705" class="blue">Larry Press</a></li> <li>Comments: 0</li> <li>Views: 7,735</li> </ul> </div> <h3><a href="/posts/starlink-in-the-spotlight-growth-challenges-and-future-ambitions">Starlink in the Spotlight: Growth, Challenges, and Future Ambitions</a></h3> <div class="byLine"> Dec 12, 2024 11:22 AM PST </div> <p> <img src="/images/member_photos/photo_8383.jpg" border="0" width="80" alt="" /> There is a lot of speculation that Starlink is positioned to get a lot more federal subsidy from the BEAD grant program. There are a few things that have to happen for that to come to pass, but that is not the only news about Starlink these days. Starlink announced in September that it reached four million customers worldwide. What is most impressive about that announcement is the rate of growth, with the company just hitting the three million customer mark in May of 2024. </p> <div class="postInfo pipedLinks"> <ul> <li>By <a href="https://circleid.com/members/8383" class="blue">Doug Dawson</a></li> <li>Comments: 0</li> <li>Views: 9,674</li> </ul> </div> <h3><a href="/posts/international-law-of-critical-internet-infrastructure-cii-a-comparative-analysis">International Law of Critical Internet Infrastructure [CII]: A Comparative Analysis</a></h3> <div class="byLine"> Dec 09, 2024 5:02 PM PST </div> <p> <img src="/images/member_photos/photo_1184.jpg" border="0" width="80" alt="" /> On Friday December 13, 2024 at 10:00–12:00 CET (09:00-11:00 AM UTC) the Lodz Cyber Hub at the University of Lodz Law School, an ICANN EURALO ALS, and the United Nations University – Comparative Regional Integration Studies (UNU-CRIS) hosts an online workshop 'International Law of Critical Internet Infrastructure: A Comparative Analysis of Europe and China'. </p> <div class="postInfo pipedLinks"> <ul> <li>By <a href="https://circleid.com/members/1184" class="blue">Joly MacFie</a></li> <li>Comments: 1</li> <li>Views: 8,682</li> </ul> </div> <h3><a href="/posts/starlink-connectivity-for-rural-communities">Starlink Backhaul for Rural Community WiFi: A Game Changer in Kenya?</a></h3> <div class="byLine"> Nov 26, 2024 12:33 PM PST </div> <p> <img src="/images/member_photos/photo_7705.jpg" border="0" width="80" alt="" /> Starlink launched maritime service in July 2022, and by January 2023 Elcome International LLC, a maritime technology solution provider since 1970, had installed multi-antenna Starlink Maritime arrays on two super yachts with more than 100 passengers and crew.

Expect fast-tracked FCC reforms, Starlink subsidies, and AI-driven oversight to redefine media, tech, and regulatory landscapes. From relaxed antitrust to intensified media control, these eleven reversals signal a move toward deregulation and Chicago School libertarianism, with lasting impacts on U.S. markets and governance. </p> <div class="postInfo pipedLinks"> <ul> <li>By <a href="https://circleid.com/members/2982" class="blue">Rob Frieden</a></li> <li>Comments: 0</li> <li>Views: 8,100</li> </ul> </div> <h3><a href="/guides/starlink-internet-service">Starlink Internet Service (2024 Review)</a></h3> <div class="byLine"> Oct 07, 2024 12:18 PM PDT </div> <p> Starlink provides high-speed, low-latency satellite internet, making it ideal for rural and remote areas lacking traditional broadband.

As can be deduced by the lengthy title, scientists have uncovered a new risk coming from the reentry of low-orbit satellites through the atmosphere. </p> <div class="postInfo pipedLinks"> <ul> <li>By <a href="https://circleid.com/members/8383" class="blue">Doug Dawson</a></li> <li>Comments: 0</li> <li>Views: 7,490</li> </ul> </div> <h3><a href="/posts/20240731-broadband-anywhere-the-new-trend-bringing-connectivity-to-campers-and-remote-locations">Broadband Anywhere: The New Trend Bringing Connectivity to Campers and Remote Locations</a></h3> <div class="byLine"> Jul 31, 2024 2:13 PM PDT </div> <p> <img src="/images/member_photos/photo_8383.jpg" border="0" width="80" alt="" /> A new broadband trend has quietly entered the market. Both Starlink and T-Mobile are advertising broadband that can be used practically anywhere and are aiming new products at campers, hikers, and others that go to remote locations. According to T-Mobile, this is a huge market, with 15 million households taking RV trips yearly and 59 million people camping. </p> <div class="postInfo pipedLinks"> <ul> <li>By <a href="https://circleid.com/members/8383" class="blue">Doug Dawson</a></li> <li>Comments: 0</li> <li>Views: 10,780</li> </ul> </div> <h3><a href="/posts/20240712-loving-and-hating-starlink">Loving and Hating Starlink</a></h3> <div class="byLine"> Jul 12, 2024 8:28 AM PDT </div> <p> <img src="/images/member_photos/photo_8383.jpg" border="0" width="80" alt="" /> I'm such an industry nerd that I sometimes read customer reviews of large ISPs just to see how the public perceives them. Most ISPs have more negative reviews than positive ones, and that's to be expected since people are more likely to complain when things go wrong than give praise when things are working as promised.
