"Global web traffic from SpaceX's satellite-based internet service more than doubled in 2025, according to data from Cloudflare, a cybersecurity company that handles tens of millions of requests between users and websites every second. It's the latest year of explosive traffic growth for Starlink, which uses a constellation of more than 9,000 low-orbit satellites to provide internet connection, including to remote areas."
"SpaceX said in November that the service has 8 million active customers, up from 4 million in September 2024, and is now online in over 150 markets. Around 23 airlines have also announced plans to use Starlink to offer high-speed WiFi on their planes, and SpaceX has signalled it could soon launch its own mobile carrier service powered by the satellite network. Starlink's growth comes as reports suggest a colossal SpaceX public listing is on the cards."
