#starlink competitor

The service is expected to compete with Starlink. Like Starlink, the service aims to use a network of satellites to deliver internet directly to users on the ground. Starlink may have a competitor soon as Europe's big time satellite companies band together to provide global communications. Back in 2018, SpaceX has released their first two satellites and it took them four more years to globally roll out Starlink's network. 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. 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. Starlink has sent out emails to interested users in the Philippines allowing them to reserve and put down a deposit for future services.
