Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
For the first time, we have hard numbers on Starlink's subscriber count: 10.3 million in Q1.The figure is mentioned in SpaceX's S-1 filing, which is required for the company's upcoming IPO. The 10.3 million figure is a 105% increase, double the 5 million Starlink had a year ago. Still, the number is surprising, given that SpaceX said in February that Starlink had crossed 10 million "active customers." However, it never defined exactly what it meant by "active customer."
