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. Historically, some users in the United States were able to enjoy a reduced monthly rate of $90 due to excess network capacity in their locations. However, this will change as the price is set to rise to $120 per month starting June 10. The reason provided by SpaceX centers on increased demand which has resulted in a shift from excess to limited capacity in several areas.
