Isko Moreno in talks with SpaceX to bring Starlink service to Manila

Manila Mayor and Presidential candidate Francisco “Isko” Moreno stated that he has been authorized by the Manila council to go into talks and negotiate with Elon Musk’s SpaceX to bring Starlink’s satellite internet connectivity in an attempt to improve and boost internet connectivity in Manila.

This comes after the passing of City Council Resolution No. 46, which authorizes Moreno “to negotiate and/or enter into a contract with SpaceX Enterprise for the use of Starlink, the world’s most advance broadband internet system in the City of Manila.”

Starlink

The effort of the City of Manila and Moreno to bring Starlink to the country’s capital city comes after Starlink had recently dispatched its satellites to Ukraine when its internet connection was unfortunately taken down during its war with Russia. Bringing Starlink will further improve the internet connectivity in Manila, especially in preventing any interruption during disasters and in benefitting public school students in Manila who experience slow to no internet connectivity.

With Starlink’s low-orbit satellites providing fast speeds and low latency, they expect to eliminate any dead spots with users being able to expect download speeds between 100 Mb/s and 200 Mb/s and latency as low as 20ms in most locations according to Starlink’s website.
