According to @SawyerMerritt, the FCC has authorized SpaceX to deploy and operate up to 15,000 advanced Starlink Gen2 satellites, doubling their previous limit and enabling significant expansion of global high-speed, low-latency internet coverage (source: Sawyer Merritt, Twitter). The decision allows SpaceX to upgrade satellite hardware with cutting-edge technology, operate across multiple frequency bands, and enhance both fixed and mobile satellite services. For the AI industry, this expansion means greater availability of high-throughput, low-latency broadband worldwide, which is critical for real-time AI applications, edge computing, and global data-driven business models. These advancements will support AI-powered remote operations, smart infrastructure, and mobile connectivity even in underserved markets, opening new business opportunities for AI-driven services (source: FCC announcement, Sawyer Merritt, Twitter).
