WHY UNITED CHOSE SPACEX'S STARLINK TO POWER ITS FREE WI-FI

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

United Airlines has signed an agreement with SpaceX to bring Starlink internet services to its entire fleet and offer free Wi-Fi to all passengers. United is currently using a mix of four different providers, all with different capabilities and limitations. Starlink is the only service that provides global coverage with enough bandwidth. Its hardware is also easy to install, with the satellite terminals being much smaller than the ones United currently uses. The first passenger flight with Starlink Wi-Fi will take off sometime in 2025.
