SpaceX<\/strong> CEO Elon Musk<\/strong> hailed the company’s satellite internet service provider, Starlink<\/strong>, which recently announced it had reached 9 million worldwide customers.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Starlink’s official handle on X announced it had crossed the 9 million customers worldwide threshold “across 155 countries, territories and many other markets.” Musk hailed the milestone in a post on the social media platform. “Rebuilding the whole Internet in space is not easy,” the SpaceX and Tesla Inc.<\/strong> (NASDAQ:<\/a>TSLA<\/a>) CEO said.<\/p>\n

One of Starlink’s satellites experienced a rare failure recently. The satellite was operating at approximately 260 miles above Earth when the incident occurred, causing it to lose communications and generate a small amount of debris in orbit. According to Starlink, the satellite will reenter Earth within weeks.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, SpaceX recently filed for the “STARLINK MOBILE” trademark with the USPTO, hinting at a possible cell carrier future<\/a> for the service. The filing describes \u201ctwo-way real-time transmission\u201d of voice, audio, video, and data by “wireless telecommunications devices.\u201d<\/p>\n

SpaceX also has deals in place with cell carriers, like T-Mobile US Inc.<\/strong> (NASDAQ:<\/a>TMUS<\/a>), to offer direct-to-cell technology to the carrier’s subscribers, as well as a deal with Ukrainian Telecom giant<\/a> Kyivstar Group Ltd.<\/strong> (NASDAQ:<\/a>KYIV<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Recently, Tesla filed a patent<\/a> called \u201cVehicle Roof Assembly with Radio Frequency Transparent Material<\/strong>,\u201d describing a vehicle roof that features radio frequency (RF) transparent polymers. The patent could help integrate antennae directly into a vehicle’s roof, facilitating direct communication with satellites and other connected tech.<\/p>\n
