Starlink’s Quiet Expansion: Millions Already Connected to Musk’s New Internet
James Altucher reveals how Starlink is rapidly reshaping global communications
Washington, D.C., Oct. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- For years, satellite internet was dismissed as impractical, too slow, or too expensive to scale. But in a new presentation, bestselling author and entrepreneur James Altucher points out that Elon Musk’s Starlink has already crossed a major threshold — widespread adoption.
Widespread Use Across Industries
Altucher highlights that Starlink’s reach is not limited to households. The technology is being adopted across sectors that demand reliable connectivity.
This rapid integration demonstrates how quickly Starlink is moving from an experimental project to a backbone of global communications.
A Global Footprint
The technology’s design allows it to transcend the limitations of traditional networks. “Elon’s satellites are designed to wrap the Earth, forming a network to deliver lightning-fast internet to every inch of the planet.”
As Altucher notes, the coverage potential is universal: “Whether you’re in Manhattan… or in a remote rural cabin… you’ll always have the chance to be connected to lightning-fast speeds.”
This means both developed and developing regions stand to benefit — from Wall Street bankers to farmers in rural New Zealand.
Why Consumers Are Turning Away from Telecoms
Altucher emphasizes that adoption is accelerating not just because of access, but because of dissatisfaction with current providers.
“The average American today could pay nearly $200 per month for their service… service that’s among the slowest in the world.” By contrast, Starlink has the potential to deliver faster, more reliable service without the need for costly towers or cables.
Connecting the Unconnected
Beyond serving current internet users, Starlink is also beginning to bring billions of new people online. “There are 2.9 billion people globally who do NOT have any access to the internet, whatsoever. And by connecting these people… it could help unlock an incredible amount of additional economic value.”
Altucher underscores the magnitude of this shift: “Because Starlink’s internet comes to you directly from space, it can reach anywhere in the world… no matter how remote it is.”
A Defining Technological Moment
Altucher frames Starlink as part of a broader historical trend. “Whenever the internet takes a huge leap forward… untold amounts of wealth are made over time by folks who see it coming.”
He compares Starlink’s adoption curve to previous milestones in internet history — from AOL’s dial-up to cable broadband — but stresses that this leap may be the most significant yet.
