In order to reach even more people, the company launched Starlink Maritime for people on ships and boats, as well as sealed a deal with Hawaiian Air, which will allow it to take the service to the airline industry.
If Starlink succeeds in securing just a few percent of the global telecommunications market, it will be able to generate up to $50 billion in annual revenue, according to the CEO of the company. The company seems to be heading in the right direction as it tries to reach its goal.
