Düsseldorf David Joshua Anderman was formerly the managing director of Lucas Film, the famous production company for the "Star Wars" films. Today, the American is once again concerned with space as chief legal officer of SpaceX, the space company founded by Elon Musk . His latest job: Head of Starlink Germany GmbH.
Starlink is a subsidiary of SpaceX that offers Internet via satellite. National subsidiaries are being opened for the company all over the world. The company founded a few weeks ago with headquarters in Frankfurt shows that things will soon get going in Germany too.
Specific partnerships are already being explored. So is German Telekomin talks with the US company as CEO Timothy Höttges recently confirmed at a conference for network expansion. “For me, this is a very serious technology. I am a great admirer of Elon Musk and his ideas. "
Elon Musk: Internet from space is being tested in Great Britain - Deutsche Telekom is also interested
Elon Musk and SpaceX's “Starlink” project is coming to the UK for testing. Things could start soon in Germany too - Deutsche Telekom is showing interest.
The visionary Elon Musk had a record year in 2020 with his “Starlink” project It should continue like this in 2021 - the Internet from space is now also being tested in Great Britain. Things could get going in Germany soon - Deutsche Telekom has already expressed interest here.
When Elon Musk starts a project, he has great ambitions. He shows that at the electric car manufacturer Tesla and the space company SpaceX . Musk is also ambitiously tackling the “Starlink”project , which is closely linked to SpaceX: In the future, thousands of satellites will orbit the earth and enable fast broadband internet in all corners of the earth. In fact, the “Starlink” project had a record year in 2020: more than 800 satellites were placed in orbit and put into operation during a total of 14 launches of the SpaceX “Falcon 9” rocket.
In addition, the Internet from space started beta operation in 2020 in the USA * and parts of Canada . It should continue at a high pace in 2021. As the "Business Insider" reports, the test operation of the "Starlink" Internet was already approved by the British regulatory authority Ofcom in November 2020, beta users in Great Britain have already received the technical equipment for the test operation.
"Starlink" Internet from Elon Musk: Deutsche Telekom is interested
Set up just a few weeks ago, company StarLink Germany GmbH , based in Frankfurt * indicates that it might go well in Germany soon with fast Internet from space . Deutsche Telekom is also apparently interested, as the "Handelsblatt" reports. The company is already in talks with the US company, Telekom boss Timotheus Höttges recently confirmed at a conference on network expansion. “For me, this is a very serious technology. I am a great admirer of Elon Musk and his ideas, "the Handelsblatt quotes the Telekom boss.
Elon Musk ensures fast internet from space - interesting for remote regions
To use the Internet from space, “Starlink” users need special equipment, which in Great Britain costs 439 pounds sterling (around 493 euros) according to reports from “Business Insider”. In addition, there is a monthly usage fee of 84 pounds (about 94 euros). The “Starlink” testers in Great Britain could expect an Internet speed of 50 to 150 Mbps, according to an email from SpaceX . Some beta testers in the US have reported reaching download speeds in excess of 210 Mbps.
All of this could solve a major problem for Telekom: users in remote regions who previously only had very slow internet could be supplied with the “Starlink” internet . The Internet from space would save Telekom from laying expensive cables. As the "Handelsblatt" reports, it costs up to 70,000 euros to lay a kilometer of fiber optic cable - it is often not worthwhile in remote countryside.
Criticism of "Starlink" satellites: SpaceX works with astronomers
Almost 1000 “Starlink” satellites orbit the earth at heights of around 550 kilometers - and at the beginning caused an outcry from astronomers: Inside: the satellites were clearly visible like a “chain of lights” in the dark sky. In the meantime, SpaceX has done a lot * so that the “Starlink” satellitesare less noticeable to the naked eye. Elon Musk's company also works with astronomers and large observatories to get the problems of sky observation under control.
In addition to “Starlink” from SpaceX , there are other initiatives that want to offer high-speed Internet from space: OneWeb was saved from bankruptcy by the British government, and the “Kuiper” project from Amazon is in the starting blocks. As "Bloomberg" reports, the EU is also considering building its own satellite Internet . The project could cost six billion euros and make the EU less dependent on US and Chinese technology. A feasibility study should start in early 2021.

Deutsche Telekom: Cooperation with SpaceX subsidiary Starlink?
Kulmbach (www.aktiencheck.de) - Deutsche Telekom stock analysis of "Der Aktionär":
Maximilian Völkl from the investor magazine "Der Aktionär" uses the stock of Deutsche Telekom AG (ISIN: DE0005557508, WKN: 555750, ticker symbol) in a current stock analysis : DTE, NASDAQ OTC symbol: DTEGF) under the microscope.
Timotheus Höttges, the head of Deutsche Telekom, came out as a big fan of Tesla boss Elon Musk. The Bonn-based company could even enter into a partnership with a subsidiary of SpaceX, the space company founded by the richest man in the world. According to media reports, there are already initial talks.
It is about the SpaceX subsidiary Starlink, a provider of satellite Internet connections. Starlink wants to come to Germany and sound out specific partnerships. "For me this is a technology to be taken very seriously. I am a great admirer of Elon Musk and his ideas," said Höttges to the "Handelsblatt".
With Starlink technology, Deutsche Telekom could better bring high-speed Internet connections into rural areas where broadband coverage has so far been particularly poor. The group could save costs and save itself the costly network expansion. However, it is still controversial how good Starlink's technology really is.
So far, only just under 1,000 satellites from the Bonn-based company have been circling in space, which could not be enough to bring high-speed internet to many users. However, it should be 12,000, and in the long term even up to 42,000. In addition, it remains to be seen how the latency times would develop if more users were to access the satellites in the future. Bad weather could also affect the satellite internet. In addition, the price is still too high for German private customers.
Starlink aims high and could even pose a threat to Deutsche Telekom in the medium term if large business customers with a global presence use the globally available technology. But there is still a long way to go until then. Deutsche Telekom is now putting at least one foot in the door. Given the favorable valuation, the T-share remains on the buyer's list of the "shareholder", said Maximilian Völkl from the investor magazine "Der Aktionär" in a current share analysis.
