Even the most unexpected places can't escape Big Tech.
When Elon Musk said that Starlink could bring superfast broadband to 'almost anywhere on Earth,' he wasnât kidding. With its direct-to-cell connection launched last year in the U.S., it couldnât have come at a better time to a country that needs it the most: Ukraine. While Russia is still targeting Ukraine's communication lines, Starlink can become the go-to lifeline helping the country stay connected in a war zone.
Perhaps even more audacious is getting Starlink into Antarctica, one of the harshest places on Earth, which just got itself linked up with 8K streaming Internet, running on 173 Mbps speeds at just 92 ms latency â likely way faster than the Internet you're using right now. But, what's next after the South Pole? The North Pole and the deserts? We'll keep an eye on the signal.
