Spacex has revealed that he has no plans to bring Starlink satellite services to China, according to reports by Gizmochina based on input from Tesla Spokesman China.
According to the report, Spacex must comply with the rules and regulations of mainland China and it includes electrical vehicle production and operations; All models 3 and Y EV models will be produced and sold according to Chinese standards.
But, “Starlink and related support equipment will not be installed.”, The report quoted a spokesman to say so.
At present, SpaceX has around 1,500 Starlink Internet satellites that orbit the Earth, with their number will only increase.
Google has worked with SpaceX to provide Cloud services.
With the help of this partnership, SpaceX can manage land stations within Google’s data center connected to Starlink satellites to provide internet access on Earth.
This service is expected to be available in the second half of 2021 for company customers, said the company.
Before Google, Microsoft has come to the board to connect the Azure Cloud computing platform to Starlink.
Competing with SpaceX’s Starlink is an Amazon Kuiper project with assistance aimed at placing its own satellite in Earth’s orbit and creating their constellations, with the planned satellite number to 3,236.
It will take several years at least.
The company claims the plan is to provide “broadband fast, affordable in access places unreliable or expensive, or where it does not exist at all.”
