Explained in plain English

Who needs Starlink satellites?

Starlink provides high-speed internet by beaming signals from satellites directly to small dishes on Earth, bypassing traditional infrastructure. This is particularly useful for people in rural or remote areas with poor internet access, or for mobile applications like ships and aircraft. The new V3 satellites offer much faster speeds.
