Starlink
SpaceX's satellite-internet constellation — thousands of satellites serving consumers, ships, and militaries.
Coverage of Starlink is holding steady : 4 signals on the latest tracked day, down 20% from its three-week baseline of 5, across 4 domains (down from 5 a week ago). That makes it the #37 most-covered of the 349 concerns we track.
