Starlink
SpaceX's satellite-internet constellation — thousands of satellites serving consumers, ships, and militaries.
Coverage of Starlink is holding steady : 6 signals on the latest tracked day, up 100% from its three-week baseline of 3, across 4 domains (down from 10 a week ago). That makes it the #115 most-covered of the 337 concerns we track.
What’s changed
7 of the last 7 tracked days ran above the three-week baseline — a sustained move, not a one-day spike.
