According to Sawyer Merritt, SpaceX's Starlink is doubling the data cap on its most affordable $50-per-month Roam plan from 50GB to 100GB at no extra cost. The upgraded plan continues to provide satellite internet access even after the cap is reached, switching to 'unlimited low-speed data' under 1Mbps instead of cutting off access. This development significantly enhances AI-powered solutions in remote or underserved areas, enabling more stable cloud-based AI applications, IoT device management, and machine learning model updates in regions with limited infrastructure. Verified by Sawyer Merritt, this move expands the business potential for deploying AI-powered services in rural and mobile locations, supporting growth in sectors such as precision agriculture, remote monitoring, and logistics.

According to Sawyer Merritt, SpaceX has successfully launched its 100th Starlink mission of 2025, bringing the total number of Starlink satellites launched this year to over 2,550, setting a new industry record (source: teslarati.com). This rapid Starlink expansion enables significant AI-driven opportunities, especially for edge AI deployments and cloud computing in remote areas. Businesses leveraging Starlink’s low-latency, high-speed internet can now deploy AI applications in agriculture, logistics, and telemedicine with higher reliability. The milestone highlights a growing market for AI-powered services and real-time analytics enabled by global satellite connectivity.
