SpaceX has begun accepting pre-orders for its Starlink internet service.
The website asks US customers to enter their email and address, as well as a $99 dollar deposit. Orders will apparently be fulfilled on a “first-come, first-served basis”.
The router and Starlink terminal cost $499, while a monthly subscription costs $99. There is no word yet on pricing for the UK and other areas.
According to Ars Technica, shipping of the Starlink routers will be completed in "mid to late 2021" for buyers in Arizona, California, Illinois, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Texas, Virginia, and Washington state. CNBC reports that other pre orders will not be fulfilled until 2022.
