📡SpaceX hits two milestones in plan for low-latency satellite broadband.

SpaceX’s satellite broadband plans are getting closer to reality.

The company is about to launch two demonstration satellites, and it is on track to get the Federal Communications Commission’s permission to offer satellite Internet service in the US.

Neither development is surprising, but they’re both necessary steps for SpaceX to enter the satellite broadband market.

SpaceX is one of several companies planning low-Earth orbit satellite broadband networks that could offer much higher speeds and much lower latency than existing satellite Internet services.
