    Signed up for Starlink. Supposedly will be available in my area mid/late this year. I already have google fiber which is amazing, but I couldn't pass up the chance to test the service out. I'm definitely going to play around with location. As of now they say it only works at fixed locations but I suspect that's because they don't want you roaming out of your coverage "band". Hoping I can at least take it an hour away or so.

    Hmmm. I too wanted to test out Starlink, but now that I too have gigabit fiber, I realize that my “test” is going to mean some poor slob with 2Mbps DSL is going to go wanting. Starlink limits the number of people in each cell, so by buying Starlink you might be taking a slot from someone else. I have read enough posts on the Reddit sub to get a taste of Starlink and don’t feel the need to test anymore.

    I think you are limited to inside your assigned cell. And I think Elon said that the cells are around square 10 miles, so I doubt you will be able to get an hour away.

    Hmmm, that is a fair point. I’ll have to think about that.

    I wonder if this means there will be more shares out there being added to funds for purchase.

    Probably the opposite. $750M worth of existing SpaceX shareholders that wanted to sell got to sell, and the buyers of both the $750M and the $850M SpaceX offering aren't going to sell anytime soon since they just bought.

    @fiveten that doesn't necessarily mean they sold all their positions. Maybe just happy to take some significant profits for whatever reason.

    Is there any regulation for number of satellites in space? I just read somewhere SpaceX has 12,000 satellites already. Sounds like a lot but I'm sure it's not in the big picture but if SpaceX is going to take this global... how many satellites are we talking? 1 million?

    They have just over 1,000 satellites in orbit now. They are approved for 12,000 and plan on over 44,000.

    Potential future competitors (like Blue Origin) are worried more than ever SpaceX will establish an insurmountable lead and are trying to hinder them via regulatory agencies.
