Starlink services are finally rolling out in the Philippines now. See screenshots of emails sent by Starlink to customers in the Philippines below. Starlink promises download speeds of up to 200Mbps with a satellite kit of Php29,320 and a monthly service fee of Php2,700 only. Amazon may launch its satellite internet service, called Project Kuiper (also known as Amazon LEO), in the Philippines as early as this year, according to Henry Aguda. Project Kuiper uses low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites to provide internet access, especially in areas with limited or no connection. Like Starlink, the service aims to use a network of satellites to deliver internet directly to users on the ground. Globe Telecom has officially partnered with Starlink to bring Direct to Cell (DTC) satellite service to the Philippines, making it the first telco in Southeast Asia to offer this breakthrough technology. Starlink’s satellites will essentially act as “cell towers in space,” beaming signals directly to mobile phones and seamlessly connecting through its network of over 650 low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites.
