Summary from the TLDR newsletter

SpaceX's Starlink satellite service has surpassed 9 million active customers and is adding over 20,000 new users per day. Serving in over 155 countries, territories, and markets, the Starlink satellite constellation now has more than 9,000 low-Earth-orbit satellites. The growth rate reflects the rising demand for broadband in underserved regions. SpaceX may be positioning itself for an initial public offering as soon as next year, and Elon Musk has suggested in the past that Starlink could have its own IPO in the future.
