How Starlink’s explosive growth is reshaping connectivity in an increasingly connected world

Part 2: Starlink and the Billionaire Broadband Battles

SpaceX has transformed the launch industry, but its impact on global communications may prove even more consequential. 

The second part of our free Understanding the SpaceX-Era Economy report series examines how Starlink’s explosive growth is reshaping connectivity in an increasingly connected world, pushing satellite broadband from a niche service into the mainstream and redefining expectations for ubiquitous access.

This analysis tracks the geopolitical and commercial stakes as others mount billion-dollar responses, and how governments are scrambling to secure alternatives as Starlink becomes vital infrastructure for consumers, enterprises and militaries alike. Understanding these shifts has never been more critical, as SpaceX’s push to provide space connectivity directly to mass-market devices extends future broadband battles beyond the traditional satellite sector into the consumer pocket.
