2. Problem (a massive
one)
47% of the world does not use the internet.
Number one reason why: lack of
coverage
● Largely an economic issue
● Nearly 30% of the world has no
3/4G

3. Create satellite constellation to provide reliable
internet connection
● Less than $500,000 per Starlink
● Latency better than fiber optic
● Can deliver to non-connected zones
Solution

4. Internet in Remote areas
1. Internet can be
accessed in
remote areas
2. Connection can
be made easily

5. Faster than Communication satellites
Starlink Communication satellites

6. How will Starlink make
money?
Unfortunately, no one really knows exactly how
it will be sold.
However…
● Likely to sell a transceiver for link
● Monthly subscription to connect

7. How to access internet using starlink?
1. Plug and play model
