As for other satellite internet providers, HughesNet received only $1.3 million for Rhode Island, while Viasat did not get any funds. You can see a map of where SpaceX Starlink internet will serve in the red areas below (via @Megaconstellati ): SpaceX currently has just under 1,000 Starlink satellites in space, with an ultimate goal to grow the constellation to 12,000. The next Falcon 9 launch to send more Starlink satellites to space is set for December 31, 2020. Currently, Starlink internet beta is only available in limited areas in the U.S. and Canada and will soon expand further, according to Elon Musk. As for Canada, it recently granted $600 million to Telesat to expand rural broadband through the latter's satellite internet, which still has yet to materialize whatsoever.
