10
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,200
Hi everybody. 
And welcome back to the Elon 

11
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:39,100
Musk podcast where we dive deep 
into the latest developments 

12
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,500
Innovations. 
And breakthroughs brought to 

13
00:00:41,500 --> 00:00:43,200
life by the band, whose 
reshaping the world. 

14
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,600
As we know it today, we're 
talking about spacex's Sterling 

15
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,300
satellite internet service, the 
surprising enthusiasm of its 

16
00:00:50,300 --> 00:00:53,200
users, and the recent Federal 
Communications commission's 

17
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,600
approval that could lead to even
better internet speeds in the 

18
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,600
future. 
Now SpaceX is Starling satellite

19
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,500
internet service has been Making
Waves to spike delivering Lower 

20
00:01:03,500 --> 00:01:07,400
download speeds than traditional
fixed Broadband in both urban 

21
00:01:07,900 --> 00:01:12,600
and rural environments across 
the u.s., the surprising finding

22
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,000
comes from the latest survey by 
Kukla. 

23
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,800
The creators of speed test. 
Furthermore, the FCC has granted

24
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,400
SpaceX, a critical authorization
for the starlink satellite 

25
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,300
internet constellation 
potentially Paving the way for 

26
00:01:26,300 --> 00:01:30,300
improved internet speeds for 
users in North America now. 

27
00:01:30,300 --> 00:01:35,500
Google is net promoter score the
NPS analysis of starlink users 

28
00:01:35,700 --> 00:01:39,200
reveals a significant disparity 
between the ratings awarded to 

29
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,800
spacex's service in those of 
broadband. 

30
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,900
Internet providers. 
This difference is most striking

31
00:01:44,900 --> 00:01:48,900
among Urban starlink users, 
despite their considerably lower

32
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,400
median. 
Download speeds compared to 

33
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,700
broadband users. 
Simultaneously shukla's 

34
00:01:54,700 --> 00:01:59,100
comprehensive evaluation of 
American internet speed data, 

35
00:01:59,300 --> 00:02:02,900
indicates a consistent yearly 
decline in median, download 

36
00:02:03,100 --> 00:02:05,700
Beads. 
However, in a refreshing 

37
00:02:05,700 --> 00:02:09,199
development, these speeds rose 
and a quarter to quarter basis 

38
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,700
the most recent data from Ookla 
indicates a 24 megabytes per 

39
00:02:13,700 --> 00:02:16,400
second annual drop in u.s. 
median. 

40
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:21,700
Download speeds for quarter one 
but a 13 mb/s Improvement 

41
00:02:21,700 --> 00:02:24,600
between quarter for 2022 and 
quarter. 

42
00:02:24,700 --> 00:02:29,700
One of 2023, when contrast 
Mexico experienced a staggering 

43
00:02:29,900 --> 00:02:34,400
100 megabits per second, annual 
decrease, While Canada's decline

44
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,000
was a mere three megabits per 
second. 

45
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,600
Yet the most intriguing aspect 
of the survey lies, a nucleus 

46
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,600
MPS analysis of starlink despite
lower median speeds than 

47
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,400
broadband, internet in both 
urban. 

48
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,400
And rural areas, starlink users 
are considerably more inclined 

49
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,600
to recommend the service to 
others, The NPS rate, engages 

50
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,500
the difference between the 
services promoters and 

51
00:02:58,500 --> 00:03:01,600
detractors. 
Consequently a positive score 

52
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,800
signifies a higher proportion. 
Should have promoters while in -

53
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,300
scores suggest the opposite the 
findings reveal that urban and 

54
00:03:08,300 --> 00:03:15,200
rural starlink users boast NPS 
scores of 31.9 for and 42.2. 1 

55
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,400
respectively, indicating a 
significant propensity to 

56
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,200
endorse the service to others. 
This enthusiasm becomes even 

57
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,800
more notable when juxtaposed 
with a lackluster performance of

58
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:34,900
broadband users whose NPS scores
stand at - 23.62 and - 20 1.27 

59
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,800
for urban and rural areas 
respectively. 

60
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,800
Now remarkably, despite a 
substantial Gap in medium, 

61
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,100
download speeds for urban and 
rural users. 

62
00:03:44,900 --> 00:03:48,100
These vast differences persist 
in Urban Star, like users 

63
00:03:48,100 --> 00:03:53,400
recorded a median download speed
of 60 5.29 Mbps. 

64
00:03:53,800 --> 00:04:00,400
While rural users registered 
72.1 a Mbps in percentage terms,

65
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,300
Urban style accusers. 
Medium speeds were 68 percent 

66
00:04:04,300 --> 00:04:08,500
lower than Broadband speeds yet,
their NPS scores were twice as 

67
00:04:08,700 --> 00:04:11,200
Hi. 
In this implies that despite 

68
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:16,000
having half the download speeds,
Urban starlink users are twice 

69
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,000
as likely to endorse start link 
to their friends. 

70
00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:23,500
Now, for the data analysis, 
reveals that download speeds are

71
00:04:23,500 --> 00:04:26,200
not the sole determinant of user
sentiment. 

72
00:04:26,300 --> 00:04:28,800
And rural areas Broadband, users
reported a median. 

73
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:33,700
Download speed of 100 point for 
1mbps, not significantly higher 

74
00:04:33,700 --> 00:04:36,900
than starlings. 
Yet despite a 30% lower speed, 

75
00:04:37,300 --> 00:04:41,000
rural starlink Hers or three 
times more likely to recommend 

76
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,900
the service. 
Now, the FCC has now approved 

77
00:04:43,900 --> 00:04:48,700
spacex's request to increase the
transmitted Duty Cycles of its 

78
00:04:48,700 --> 00:04:52,800
second generation user dishes, 
after the company submitted data

79
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,900
to the commission outlining that
doing. 

80
00:04:54,900 --> 00:04:59,300
So would not violate any radio 
frequency emissions regulations.

81
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,500
Now SpaceX has been 
investigating ways to make it 

82
00:05:02,500 --> 00:05:06,600
sterlink, users dishes more 
potent for quite some time now. 

83
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:11,700
And the firm first filed them, 
Application with the FCC in June

84
00:05:11,700 --> 00:05:14,300
of last year seeking approval to
launch new. 

85
00:05:14,300 --> 00:05:18,000
Starlink satellite dishes. 
These would feature several 

86
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,200
upgrades over the predecessor 
including a high transmission 

87
00:05:22,500 --> 00:05:25,300
data. 
Cycle SpaceX is application 

88
00:05:25,500 --> 00:05:30,300
revealed that the new dishes 
would have a duty cycle of 14% 

89
00:05:30,300 --> 00:05:33,100
implying that they would 
communicate with satellites for 

90
00:05:33,100 --> 00:05:36,200
longer. 
However, their percentage was 

91
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,800
later reduced to ten point five 
percent Point due to changes in 

92
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,900
the commission's, radio 
frequency calculation, a 

93
00:05:42,900 --> 00:05:45,000
following the application for 
the second generation. 

94
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,200
User dishes SpaceX is SpaceX 
submitted, another request of 

95
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,400
the FCC to the, they had to test
200. 

96
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,700
User dish has a higher Duty 
Cycles to evaluate the 

97
00:05:55,707 --> 00:05:58,600
performance. 
And eager to advances dishes, 

98
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,600
SpaceX followed up with another 
application that December, 

99
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,100
requesting that, the FCC allow 
it to permanently increase its 

100
00:06:05,100 --> 00:06:10,300
duty cycle to 17.5% SpaceX 
submitted this application, 

101
00:06:10,300 --> 00:06:14,100
after testing the sterlink, user
dishes at the maximum transmit 

102
00:06:14,100 --> 00:06:17,800
duty cycle of 100%. 
Or, in other words, a scenario, 

103
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,900
where they would communicate 
with the said, lights all the 

104
00:06:20,900 --> 00:06:22,900
time. 
Now, these tests utilize the 

105
00:06:22,900 --> 00:06:25,200
flat shape of the second 
generation Sterling dishes and 

106
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,600
demonstrated that, as opposed to
the new rules, which had laid 

107
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,300
down a maximum duty cycle of 
10.5%. 

108
00:06:32,300 --> 00:06:36,400
The dishes could, in fact, 
transmit up to Seventeen point 

109
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,400
five percent of the time. 
Without exceeding, any radiation

110
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,000
Hazard limits. 
Now, the FCC approved, the 

111
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,000
application for the higher duty 
cycle, which will improve 

112
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,800
starlings performance in the 
longer duration of the dishes, 

113
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:54,000
Communications period will 
directly impact, the upload 

114
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,200
speed for starlink users. 
This is because the terminals 

115
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,900
will spend a more extended 
period communicating with the 

116
00:07:00,900 --> 00:07:03,900
satellites. 
However, the overall speed can 

117
00:07:03,900 --> 00:07:07,200
also improve significantly since
the terminals, will be able to 

118
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,600
make up frequently for 
information losses between them 

119
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,100
and the orbiting spacecraft. 
Additionally the longer the 

120
00:07:14,108 --> 00:07:18,600
dishes communicate the faster 
they established links to newer.

121
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,600
Starlink satellites, this will 
reduce shift over and switch 

122
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,600
over X and lead to fewer 
connection. 

123
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,800
Drops SpaceX has launched more 
than 4,000 starlink satellites 

124
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,800
today, it plans to launch tens 
of thousands more to gain a 

125
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,500
foothold in the market that will
open soon as Amazon's kuyper 

126
00:07:36,500 --> 00:07:39,300
subsidiary. 
Secures a rocket and launch has 

127
00:07:39,300 --> 00:07:42,200
its own set like a direct 
competitor to starling. 

128
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,400
Now, SpaceX is startling 
satellite, International 

129
00:07:45,900 --> 00:07:50,400
internet service is on the rise 
and it's attracted this huge 

130
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,900
loyal user base despite 
delivering lower download speeds

131
00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:55,500
than traditional fixed 
Broadband. 

132
00:07:55,900 --> 00:08:01,200
In both rural, and urban areas 
across the u.s. and this recent 

133
00:08:01,300 --> 00:08:05,400
FCC approval, for increasing, 
the transmitted data cycles of 

134
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,600
its second generation user 
dishes promises to improve 

135
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,100
internet speeds for users in 
North America in the future. 

136
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,400
This development along with this
enthusiastic user base, as 

137
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,500
evidenced by the positive, NPS 
scores from Shukla survey 

138
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,000
indicates a promising. 
Future for starlink as a 

139
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,900
competes with other satellite 
internet providers, including 

140
