Starlink dish
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) finally gave Starlink approval last Thursday, allowing the company to install “mobile” terminal antennas on mobile vehicles. In addition to opening the door for applications such as civil aircraft, cruise ships, and trains, the United States also has a considerable campervan (RV) market, and should also be extremely interested in such services.
It is theoretically possible to take the Starlink terminal antenna with you before that, but SpaceX actually treats it as a replacement address, so in addition to having an address in a new place, Starlink also depends on the use of each region The number of people determines whether you can enable the service. If there is a “vacancy” in the new address and you can switch to it, your original address will be cancelled, and when you want to change it back someday, you may have to queue up again to wait for a vacant seat. This is not very convenient for the real RV family, and now SpaceX can start a real roaming service.
For civil aviation, we know that Starlink already has plans to cooperate with Delta Air Lines and Hawaiian Airlines, but for the general public, what kind of tariffs will be adopted, and what restrictions will there be on the use of them. unclear. At least Starlink now has no restrictions from the FCC in the United States, and can launch related services at any time.
