SpaceX's $10 billion Starlink satellite project recently opened pre-sign ups to the public, by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has ‘serious doubts’ the network will meet data transfer requirements. SpaceX has claimed its network ‘easily clears the commission's 100ms threshold for low-latency services, even including its 'processing time' during unrealistic worst-case situations.' SpaceX's Starlink satellites are designed to provide low-cost broadband internet service from low-Earth orbit to even the most remote placed of the world. Earlier this month, ZDNet received a note that SpaceX was allowing consumers to sign up for the Starlink service ahead of the public beta launch. By filling out an email form with a zip code, prospective customers will get notifications on when or if they're able to join the Starlink service once it's opened up.
