SpaceX’s new Starlink satellite internet service is in an extremely restricted beta testing period at this moment, yet the organization is as of now suspecting ahead: as first noted by CNBC, SpaceX has filed an application with the FCC for Starlink components that would permit the service to work on moving vehicles.
Enormous moving vehicles, that is — Elon Musk tweeted that the current Starlink terminals are too large for Tesla’s vehicles, and the thought is focused at planes, RVs, trucks, and ships.
This would be a major change for Starlink, which right currently doesn’t permit clients to move the current hardware from one location to another — in the event that you can get in the beta, the signup forms are certain that the service is restricted to the location you enter at checkout.
That is on the grounds that the Starlink satellite constellation isn’t completely worked out yet, so it is anything but a permanent limitation, however it’s as yet a restriction today, and one that Elon by and by explained today in a tweet.
