SpaceX, the aerospace manufacturer and space transportation company founded by Elon Musk, has recently announced a price increase for certain users of its Starlink satellite internet service. This service, known for providing broadband internet to underserved areas around the globe, has undergone rapid expansion and evolution since its inception.
