The satellite-internet system now has over 69,000 active users and Musk said the company hopes to have 500,000 users within a year.
Starlink customers connect using small satellite receivers that are priced at £360; Musk said this is a subsidised price, with the devices costing the company £720.
The service is now operational in 12 countries, with Musk adding that Starlink has “two quite significant partnerships with major country telcos”.
Ofcom granted Starlink a licence to trial its services in the UK in November last year, with those trials starting in January.
