• SpaceX has started selling the Starlink Mini, a smaller and more affordable version of its Starlink satellite internet system, in select locations. The Starlink Mini costs $599, which is significantly less than the $599 price tag for the standard Starlink kit. The Starlink Mini is designed to be a more compact and portable option for users who don't need the full capabilities of the standard Starlink system.
• The Starlink Mini features a smaller, circular dish that is around 12 inches in diameter, compared to the 19-inch rectangular dish of the standard Starlink system. This makes the Starlink Mini easier to set up and move around, as it doesn't require the same level of precise alignment as the larger dish. The Starlink Mini also has a lower power consumption, making it more suitable for use in remote or off-grid locations.
• The Starlink Mini is currently only available in select regions, and SpaceX has not yet provided a timeline for when it will be more widely available. The company has stated that the Starlink Mini is intended to expand the accessibility of its satellite internet service to a broader range of customers, particularly those in areas where the standard Starlink system may not be practical or cost-effective.
