Starlink: Elon Musk makes lofty promises for satellite internet

Published

on

Elon Musk says SpaceX’s satellite network Starlink is on track to beam broadband internet across the entire planet (bar the arctics) by August, with half a million users within a year.

“We’re on our way to having a few hundred thousand users, possibly over 500,000 users within 12 months,” he said. SpaceX has already launched over 1500 satellites, with Starlink operational in about a dozen countries.

“Filling in the gaps between 5G and fiber”

Musk considers Starlink to be “complementary” to existing 5G providers rather than directly competing with them.

“You can think of Starlink as filling in the gaps between 5G and fiber and really getting to the parts of the world that are the hardest to reach,” he said

SpaceX aims to offer broadband to parts of the world where conventional fibre and wireless networks can’t reach. The company plans to offer its technology to customers in rural areas, as well as governments seeking better internet connection.

Musk said he’s signed two deals with “major country” telecom operators

While he couldn’t name the operators yet, he said he’s also in discussions with more. Starlink is currently is its beta stage of development.

While costs are high, with many individual users are paying $99 per month, or $499 for a bundle including a self-aligning Starlink dish and Wi-Fi router.

Spotify faces downturn as user base declines

Published

on

Music streaming giant Spotify is now grappling with a significant decline in its user base.

Analysts point to a combination of factors contributing to Spotify’s woes. One major concern is the rise of alternative platforms offering unique features and a diverse range of content, enticing users away from the once-unrivalled Spotify.

Additionally, controversies surrounding artist compensation and royalty disputes have tarnished the platform’s image, leading to growing discontent among both musicians and listeners.

The company’s stock prices have experienced a notable dip in response to the user base decline. Spotify now faces the challenging task of regaining its footing in an increasingly competitive market.

Industry experts are closely watching how the platform plans to innovate and address the issues that have led to its recent setbacks.

Spotify has also announced plans to lay off 17% of its global workforce. The decision comes as the company aims to optimise resources and focus on key business priorities in the face of evolving market dynamics.

The restructuring will impact various departments, including engineering and customer support, as Spotify looks to enhance efficiency and adapt to changing industry trends. The move is expected to generate cost savings for the company while allowing it to allocate resources to areas crucial for future growth.

Despite the layoffs, Spotify remains committed to delivering a seamless music streaming experience for its users and fostering innovation within the industry. The company has emphasised that these changes are part of a broader strategy to ensure sustained success and adaptability in an ever-evolving digital landscape.
