Not sure which event this is: It's the Connecting the World from the Skies conference in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

SpaceX: 50+ telcos have contacted us about signing T-Mobile-type satellite-to-cell service deals in their territories

Quote from: spaceintelreport.com
PARIS — More than 50 mobile network operators around the world have  solicited SpaceX Starlink to discuss T-Mobile-type partnerships for direct satellite-to-smartphone services on their territories, SpaceX Senior Director Sara Spangelo said.

The apparently unprompted inquiries are expected to lead to agreements with several by the end of this year or soon after, Spangelo said.

“We are trying to move as quickly as we can… to get everybody on-boarded so that by the time we offer the service we have regulatory . . .

SpaceX is looking to expand partnerships with mobile operators beyond T-Mobile in the U.S. to provide global services in 2025, SpaceX senior director of satellite engineering Sara Spangelo said Nov. 9.

Spangelo told the Connecting the World from the Skies conference in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, that more than 50 telcos have reached out about partnering with SpaceX to provide direct-to-smartphone services.

She said several potential partnerships are in the final stages of negotiations, and expects SpaceX to secure three to five of them by around the beginning of 2023.

You Can Now Donate a Starlink Dish via SpaceX's New Website

Quote from: pcmag.com
You can now fund a Starlink dish for a charitable cause through a new “Starlink Donation” website(Opens in a new window) from SpaceX.

The company quietly published the site weeks after SpaceX CEO Elon Musk floated the idea of adding a “donation” option to the main Starlink service, which can supply high-speed satellite internet to rural and remote regions.

The new website says: “The Starlink team receives continuous requests to provide connectivity for communities across the globe. Your donation will be applied to the areas of greatest need across education, telehealth, emergency response and humanitarian efforts, as determined by the Starlink team.”

Starlink making good progress in polar tests by the Air Force.

Quote
“We have started testing high-rate connectivity to very remote Arctic bases,” Brian Beal, principal aerospace engineer with the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Strategic Development and Experimentation office, said in a statement. At one such base, he said, data rates using Starlink improved almost 30-fold over previous capabilities.
Quote
“You can imagine an Army, Air Force or Navy unit deployed to a remote location that doesn’t have the cell-phone service niceties and very quickly have communications at high-rates that an airman can set up in 10 minutes --- that’s a great capability to have,” he said.

However, we've learned that the dish is pointless without a subscription. Starlink quietly turned off over 1300 dishes in Ukraine after media attention left.

If you read the article you'll see user can choose to donate one year, two years or 3 years of service along with the dish.

Starlink free testimonial:  I was watching a YouTube video about a guy trying to salvage large diesel equipment from an abandoned mining site in the middle of nowhere.


In the middle of trying to get these machines to run, he says "Let me show you something cool". He then sets up StarLink and within a few minutes has high speed internet throughout the work site.  He stresses that this is not a promotion, he paid full price for the equipment, but clearly he's quite happy with it.  Considering the YouTube channel has more than 2 million subscribers, that's quite a chunk of free advertising.

I find it interesting that the Starlink map has a diagonal line across Eastern Brazil.

ISL limitations? Could it be ISL between planes is not up yet and only the link to satellites in the same plane are up?

The predominant orbit with ISL is a 53 degree inclination which has both ascending and descending crossings across the equator. Both mostly traveling SE and NE. There are a few doing NW and SW. Then there is 70 degrees planes and a few 86 degrees populated planes.

The line may have more to do with no subscription restriction due to low population density and closer to the coast high density and more restrictions about available subscriptions.

Other than,  for the east coastal regions the map shows coming soon,  not waitlisted.

If you look at the line,  it's perfectly lined up for 53 degree descending node satellites using the Salvador ground station. I suspect none of Brazil's other ground stations like Rio which are further south and mostly coastal so do not line up to provide ascending node coverage.

So, is Brazilian traffic required to go through a Brazilian ground station? Curious.

It's your med's!

SpaceX Starlink Powers Fortnite Streaming from a Castle in Spain

Quote from: teslanorth.com
@SpaceX’s Starlink internet is being celebrated by video game personality @Hiper for providing high-speed internet during a streaming event at Spain’s Castillo de Almodovar castle.

The event oversaw Hiper streaming Fortnite alongside other video game personalities for long periods of time, all located at the Almodovar, Cordoba castle in Spain.

In a tweet translated from Spanish about the event thanking SpaceX, Hiper wrote, “I don’t forget the technical team that spent 3 days working to make sure everything went well, and @SpaceXStarlink for an internet connection working perfectly in a damn castle.”
