Starlink adds boating service just days after securing FCC approval

SpaceX is opening up access to Starlink Maritime, a satellite internet option for boats and other water-bound locales. The service is only now possible because the FCC gave SpaceX the go-ahead to provide internet service for moving vehicles last week.

SpaceX says Starlink Maritime will allow you to “connect from some of the most remote waters in the world,” and it really is only available in some waters right now. The coasts of the U.S. (except Alaska), Europe (except most Scandinavian waters), Australia, Brazil, Chile, and some of New Zealand. That coverage area is expected to expand in the coming months.
