The digital divide is a global issue that affects millions of people, particularly those living in rural and remote areas. Lack of access to reliable internet connectivity can limit opportunities for education, employment, and social interaction. However, the recent launch of Starlink, a satellite internet service by SpaceX, has raised hopes of bridging the digital divide.
Starlink promises to provide high-speed internet connectivity to even the most remote areas of the world. The service uses a constellation of low-orbit satellites that are designed to provide low-latency, high-bandwidth internet connectivity. This means that users can enjoy fast internet speeds, even in areas where traditional broadband services are not available.
