SpaceX has received the green light to start connecting its orbital Starlink internet service to US-registered moving vehicles, including boats, planes and cars. Regulators shot down objections to the scheme raised by the firm’s corporate rivals.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced its decision on Thursday, noting that SpaceX would be permitted to operate “unlimited Ku-band” – frequencies largely used for satellite comms – “in the territorial waters of the United States and aboard US-registered vessels throughout international waters worldwide.”

“Authorizing a new class of terminals for SpaceX’s satellite system will expand the range of broadband capabilities to meet the growing user demands that now require connectivity while on the move,” the FCC said, adding that the approval covers “vessels, land vehicles and aircraft.”

I have a thinker statue stalking my family. I broke it in 1983 and threw it away, hoping not to get caught. My uncle 3,000 miles away has it glued back together. My mom flipped when she saw it. It was a wedding gift from one of my dads buddies in Nam. She didn't miss it until she saw it again after my dad died. Not realizing I was literally wigging out in the backyard chain smoking when this happened she asked me a couple of years later about it.

I confessed. "I broke that mom. Threw it away. How did …. end up with it?"

She say's "I know. I hated it."
