Starlink Ships 100,000 Satellite Internet Terminals

SpaceX's growing satellite internet service, Starlink, shipped 100,000 terminals to customers in 14 countries. The move was announced in a series of tweets by SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk. The countries serviced by the growing network include the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Ireland, Belgium, Switzerland, Denmark, Portugal, Australia, and New Zealand. Starlink launched in October 2020, and by February 2021, the service boasted more than 10,000 customers. After a series of launches in 2021, the number of satellites in Starlink's constellation sits at roughly 1,800. Earlier this summer, Musk said Starlink would reach global serviceability except for the North and South Poles sometime in August.
