Starlink internet

Published

Elon Musk is launching satellites into orbit with the goal of reaching as many people as
possible with high-speed broadband internet.
Starlink cranked up the pace in 2021 after years of development within SpaceX and
after receiving about $885.5 million in award monies from the Federal Communications
Commission at the end of 2020. After three years of successful launches, the project
reached 1,000 satellites deployed into orbit in January. Starlink now has over 2,000
operational satellites orbiting overhead after a year and dozens of successful launches.
Starlink\’s business is also growing at a rapid pace. Musk\’s business announced in
February of last year that Starlink had over 10,000 customers. Now, Musk claims that
Starlink has shipped over 100,000 satellite internet terminals to customers in 14
countries after expanding preorders to even more potential customers, releasing a
second-generation home internet satellite dish, and exploring the possibility of providing
in-flight Wi-Fi for passenger aircraft. According to a report in the Washington Post, Musk
announced in February that new satellite internet terminals were on their way to Ukraine
in the wake of the Russian invasion (and amid Russian attempts to jam the signal), a
move that cost US taxpayers $3 million.
Starlink isn\’t without its own set of issues. The influence of Starlink\’s low-earth orbit
satellites on night sky vision has been raised by members of the scientific community.
Meanwhile, competitors such as Viasat, HughesNet, and Amazon\’s Project Kuiper have
taken notice of Starlink\’s growth, causing regulatory wrangling and attempts to stifle
Musk\’s progress.

Kyrie Irving courts LeBron James to join Mavs

The stories have been LeBron wanting Kyrie back, but this time it’s Irving who reached out for James to come to Dallas and play for the Mavericks next season.

The report quickly went viral as a potential Irving-James-Doncic big three is now brewing.

However, trading for LeBron James means a lot of players and future round picks for the Mavericks.

It can be recalled that James was trying to land Irving in the middle of the regular season, but the Lakers failed to do so which put Irving from Brooklyn to Dallas to team up with Luka Doncic.

They fell short of a playoff spot and now it seems Irving seriously wants another trophy with him luring James for an epic reunion.

Whether this fails due to the cap restriction, Irving could still possibly join James in the Lakers as LA looks to revamp its squad despite reaching the conference finals after a slow start of the season.

Suns sign Frank Vogel as new head coach

After parting ways with former Coach of the Year Monty Williams, the Phoenix Suns have already made their choice on who will hold the helm next season and it will be seasoned-tactician Frank Vogel, according to reports.

The 49-year old head coach had been with three NBA teams namely Indiana Pacers, Orlando Magic, and the Los Angeles Lakers where he led them to their 19th championship banner during the 2020 NBA bubble.

With this development, questions arise for the future of Chris Paul and DeAndre Ayton.

The future Hall of Famer point guard was forced to sit out in the crucial part of their playoff run due to injury and with his age being a factor, a possibility of him being traded is very much likely. The same applies to Ayton who was ineffective in the postseason.

Trading these two key pieces of Phoenix can lure a superstar or role players that could help Kevin Durant and Devin Booker win a championship for the franchise.
