BREAKING: Starlink becomes New Zealand’s largest rural internet provider. 🇳🇿 • Starlink now has 27% share of NZ’s rural broadband market. • Share jumped from 19% to 27% in one year. • Satellite broadband connections rose from 56,000 to 85,000, up 52%. • Around 72,000 are rural residential fixed connections. • Starlink Residential averaged 226 Mbps download speed. • That is around 4x faster than rural 4G FWA at 56 Mbps. • NZ now has the highest satellite broadband uptake per capita in the OECD. Starlink is helping rural families, farms, and remote communities get fast internet where traditional networks struggled.

Starlink is becoming a critical lifeline for earthquake-hit Venezuela. 🇻🇪 • Venezuela’s telecom regulator, CONATEL, has approved a 3-month Direct-to-Device pilot for Movistar, enabling compatible mobile phones to connect directly to SpaceX’s Starlink satellites. • Movistar Venezuela has activated Starlink-powered satellite SMS for customers in La Guaira, allowing users to send and receive messages even without terrestrial coverage. • Starlink is working to extend the same free emergency connectivity to customers of Digitel and state-owned Movilnet. • Starlink is providing free internet through July 25 for both new and existing customers affected by the devastating earthquakes. • Starlink is rapidly deploying satellite terminals to the hardest-hit areas, helping restore communications where local infrastructure has been damaged. These initiatives are helping families, emergency responders, and communities stay connected when cellular and ground networks are disrupted.

BREAKING: Elon Musk confirms Grok 4.5 is now in private beta at SpaceX and Tesla. • Early evals show performance close to, possibly exceeding Opus • Based on xAI’s 1.5T V9 foundation model • Trained with Cursor data added • Grok Build harness is getting better every day • New models trained from scratch will be released every month this year The pace at SpaceXAI is absolutely insane.

ELON MUSK: "You should be able to have a Starlink, like you have an AT&T or T-Mobile or Verizon or whatever, you could have an account with Starlink that works with your Starlink antenna at home with free Wi-Fi as well as on your phone. We're not going to put the other carriers out of business. They're still going to be around because they own a lot of spectrum. It will allow SpaceX to deliver high bandwidth connectivity directly from the satellites to the phones, but there are hardware changes that need to happen in the phone. You should be able to watch videos anywhere on your phone."
