This time it might involve a mobile satellite internet network
SpaceX filed for the project s application at the FCC
SpaceX is looking into connecting moving vehicles to its satellite internet network Starlink based on a recently uncovered request the company filed with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) not long after Elon Musk tweeted Starlink Mini, which could deliver mobile internet connectivity.
