Elon Musk plans Starlink to host 100,000 satellites and handle over 90% of global internet traffic.

Elon Musk announced that SpaceX's Starlink aims to expand its satellite network to 100,000 units, nearly doubling the current total satellites in orbit. He envisions Starlink handling over 90% of global internet traffic, effectively rebuilding the internet from space. This scale far surpasses competitors like AST SpaceMobile and Viasat, which have far fewer satellites and different business models. The move could reshape internet access and competition with traditional carriers, with significant revenue potential if Musk's vision is realized.
