  Hi everybody. And welcome back to the Elon
• 0:35
  Musk podcast where we dive deep into the latest developments
• 0:39
  Innovations. And breakthroughs brought to
• 0:41
  life by the band, whose reshaping the world.
• 0:43
  As we know it today, we're talking about spacex's Sterling
• 0:46
  satellite internet service, the surprising enthusiasm of its
• 0:50
  users, and the recent Federal Communications commission's
• 0:53
  approval that could lead to even better internet speeds in the
• 0:56
  future. Now SpaceX is Starling satellite
• 0:59
  internet service has been Making Waves to spike delivering Lower
• 1:03
  download speeds than traditional fixed Broadband in both urban
• 1:07
  and rural environments across the u.s., the surprising finding
• 1:12
  comes from the latest survey by Kukla.
• 1:15
  The creators of speed test. Furthermore, the FCC has granted
• 1:19
  SpaceX, a critical authorization for the starlink satellite
• 1:23
  internet constellation potentially Paving the way for
• 1:26
  improved internet speeds for users in North America now.
• 1:30
  Google is net promoter score the NPS analysis of starlink users
• 1:35
  reveals a significant disparity between the ratings awarded to
• 1:39
  spacex's service in those of broadband.
• 1:41
  Internet providers. This difference is most striking
• 1:44
  among Urban starlink users, despite their considerably lower
• 1:49
  median. Download speeds compared to
• 1:51
  broadband users. Simultaneously shukla's
• 1:54
  comprehensive evaluation of American internet speed data,
• 1:59
  indicates a consistent yearly decline in median, download
• 2:03
  Beads. However, in a refreshing
• 2:05
  development, these speeds rose and a quarter to quarter basis
• 2:09
  the most recent data from Ookla indicates a 24 megabytes per
• 2:13
  second annual drop in u.s. median.
• 2:16
  Download speeds for quarter one but a 13 mb/s Improvement
• 2:21
  between quarter for 2022 and quarter.
• 2:24
  One of 2023, when contrast Mexico experienced a staggering
• 2:29
  100 megabits per second, annual decrease, While Canada's decline
• 2:34
  was a mere three megabits per second.
• 2:37
  Yet the most intriguing aspect of the survey lies, a nucleus
• 2:41
  MPS analysis of starlink despite lower median speeds than
• 2:45
  broadband, internet in both urban.
• 2:47
  And rural areas, starlink users are considerably more inclined
• 2:51
  to recommend the service to others, The NPS rate, engages
• 2:55
  the difference between the services promoters and
• 2:58
  detractors. Consequently a positive score
• 3:01
  signifies a higher proportion. Should have promoters while in -
• 3:04
  scores suggest the opposite the findings reveal that urban and
• 3:08
  rural starlink users boast NPS scores of 31.9 for and 42.2. 1
• 3:15
  respectively, indicating a significant propensity to
• 3:19
  endorse the service to others. This enthusiasm becomes even
• 3:23
  more notable when juxtaposed with a lackluster performance of
• 3:26
  broadband users whose NPS scores stand at - 23.62 and - 20 1.27
• 3:35
  for urban and rural areas respectively.
• 3:38
  Now remarkably, despite a substantial Gap in medium,
• 3:41
  download speeds for urban and rural users.
• 3:44
  These vast differences persist in Urban Star, like users
• 3:48
  recorded a median download speed of 60 5.29 Mbps.
• 3:53
  While rural users registered 72.1 a Mbps in percentage terms,
• 4:00
  Urban style accusers. Medium speeds were 68 percent
• 4:04
  lower than Broadband speeds yet, their NPS scores were twice as
• 4:08
  Hi. In this implies that despite
• 4:11
  having half the download speeds, Urban starlink users are twice
• 4:16
  as likely to endorse start link to their friends.
• 4:20
  Now, for the data analysis, reveals that download speeds are
• 4:23
  not the sole determinant of user sentiment.
• 4:26
  And rural areas Broadband, users reported a median.
• 4:28
  Download speed of 100 point for 1mbps, not significantly higher
• 4:33
  than starlings. Yet despite a 30% lower speed,
• 4:37
  rural starlink Hers or three times more likely to recommend
• 4:41
  the service. Now, the FCC has now approved
• 4:43
  spacex's request to increase the transmitted Duty Cycles of its
• 4:48
  second generation user dishes, after the company submitted data
• 4:53
  to the commission outlining that doing.
• 4:54
  So would not violate any radio frequency emissions regulations.
• 5:00
  Now SpaceX has been investigating ways to make it
• 5:02
  sterlink, users dishes more potent for quite some time now.
• 5:06
  And the firm first filed them, Application with the FCC in June
• 5:11
  of last year seeking approval to launch new.
• 5:14
  Starlink satellite dishes. These would feature several
• 5:18
  upgrades over the predecessor including a high transmission
• 5:22
  data. Cycle SpaceX is application
• 5:25
  revealed that the new dishes would have a duty cycle of 14%
• 5:30
  implying that they would communicate with satellites for
• 5:33
  longer. However, their percentage was
• 5:36
  later reduced to ten point five percent Point due to changes in
• 5:39
  the commission's, radio frequency calculation, a
• 5:42
  following the application for the second generation.
• 5:45
  User dishes SpaceX is SpaceX submitted, another request of
• 5:49
  the FCC to the, they had to test 200.
• 5:52
  User dish has a higher Duty Cycles to evaluate the
• 5:55
  performance. And eager to advances dishes,
• 5:58
  SpaceX followed up with another application that December,
• 6:02
  requesting that, the FCC allow it to permanently increase its
• 6:05
  duty cycle to 17.5% SpaceX submitted this application,
• 6:10
  after testing the sterlink, user dishes at the maximum transmit
• 6:14
  duty cycle of 100%. Or, in other words, a scenario,
• 6:17
  where they would communicate with the said, lights all the
• 6:20
  time. Now, these tests utilize the
• 6:22
  flat shape of the second generation Sterling dishes and
• 6:25
  demonstrated that, as opposed to the new rules, which had laid
• 6:28
  down a maximum duty cycle of 10.5%.
• 6:32
  The dishes could, in fact, transmit up to Seventeen point
• 6:36
  five percent of the time. Without exceeding, any radiation
• 6:40
  Hazard limits. Now, the FCC approved, the
• 6:44
  application for the higher duty cycle, which will improve
• 6:47
  starlings performance in the longer duration of the dishes,
• 6:49
  Communications period will directly impact, the upload
• 6:54
  speed for starlink users. This is because the terminals
• 6:58
  will spend a more extended period communicating with the
• 7:00
  satellites. However, the overall speed can
• 7:03
  also improve significantly since the terminals, will be able to
• 7:07
  make up frequently for information losses between them
• 7:10
  and the orbiting spacecraft. Additionally the longer the
• 7:14
  dishes communicate the faster they established links to newer.
• 7:18
  Starlink satellites, this will reduce shift over and switch
• 7:22
  over X and lead to fewer connection.
• 7:24
  Drops SpaceX has launched more than 4,000 starlink satellites
• 7:28
  today, it plans to launch tens of thousands more to gain a
• 7:32
  foothold in the market that will open soon as Amazon's kuyper
• 7:36
  subsidiary. Secures a rocket and launch has
• 7:39
  its own set like a direct competitor to starling.
• 7:42
  Now, SpaceX is startling satellite, International
• 7:45
  internet service is on the rise and it's attracted this huge
• 7:50
  loyal user base despite delivering lower download speeds
• 7:53
  than traditional fixed Broadband.
• 7:55
  In both rural, and urban areas across the u.s. and this recent
• 8:01
  FCC approval, for increasing, the transmitted data cycles of
• 8:05
  its second generation user dishes promises to improve
• 8:08
  internet speeds for users in North America in the future.
• 8:12
  This development along with this enthusiastic user base, as
• 8:16
  evidenced by the positive, NPS scores from Shukla survey
• 8:20
  indicates a promising. Future for starlink as a
• 8:23
  competes with other satellite internet providers, including
• 8:27
