SPACEX TESTS USING DRONE SHIPS TO SUPPORT STARLINK COVERAGE AT SEA

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

SpaceX is using its drone ships, designed to act as landing pads for rockets, as gateway stations to bolster Starlink's cover at sea. The company applied for a temporary FCC license last month to test operating up to 12 earth station antennas over the drone ships. SpaceX hasn't revealed details about how the drone ships will serve as backhaul without dedicated fiber connections. The FCC is still weighing the application.
