Starlink Has 140,000 Users in 20-Plus Countries: SpaceX

SpaceX's Starlink broadband constellation, with 1,800 satellites launched, is serving about 140,000 users in more than 20 countries, and has taken 750,000 orders or deposits worldwide, company officials told FCC International Bureau Chief Tom Sullivan, per a filing last week. Its planned second-generation constellation of about 30,000 satellites would have lower latency and more backhaul capacity, SpaceX said. All the planned satellites would reenter the atmosphere in less than four years, it said.
