Elon Musk's high-speed satellite internet experiment is finally taking off.
The Starlink satellites from SpaceX will start to connect users to WiFi this week. CNBC reported Tuesday that SpaceX emails about pricing for early users went out Monday .
According to the documents CNBC viewed, Starlink service will be $99 per month. There's also an upfront $499 charge for a starter kit that includes the equipment necessary to connect — a terminal, tripod, and WiFi router. We reached out to SpaceX for confirmation on pricing, but didn't hear back.
A Starlink app from SpaceX available on iOS (see screenshots below) and Android is now up; it gives more info about early access and how to connect to the internet system.
The initial program is called "Better Than Nothing Beta." The U.S. and Canada are listed as service areas by the end of the year. Global coverage is coming next year.
