Manila City wants Elon Musk's low-orbit satellite
In a statement, Manila Mayor Isko Moreno bared that the City Council of Manila has authorized him to negotiate with Musk's company for the purchase of Starlink low-orbit satellite.
This is aimed at boosting the internet state in Manila, especially for its public school students. Moreno added students may expect high-speed broadband services, assuring there would be no dead spots.
He said he would negotiate with SpaceX Enterprise Group, which is the marketing arm of Elon Musk’s Starlink company. Space Exploration Technologies Corp. or SpaceX is an American aerospace manufacturer founded by Elon Musk.
Moreno, who is vying for the country's top government position, hopes the whole Philippines will benefit from Starlink's technology.
Hindi naman lingid sa atin na maraming kalamidad sa Pilipinas lalu na ang malalakas na bagyo at lindol. At kadalasan nasisira ay ang linya ng komunikasyon gaya ng nangyari sa Visayas and Mindanao na sinalanta ni Odette. Walang ng telepono, wala pang internet. So malaking tulong itong kay Elon Musk dahil may signal ito kahit may bagyo at lindol, Moreno said.
What do you guys think?
I was killing time before the hockey game started on Saturday night and decided to look for a fresh place to spin some reels. A lot of the usual sites have been feeling super tight lately, so I gave thor fortune a shot after seeing a recommendation on a local subreddit. I loaded up a quick game of Sweet Bonanza and managed to hit a crazy multiplier drop right before puck drop. The best part was that the withdrawal process was completely seamless. It’s genuinely nice to find a platform that actually caters to the Canadian market with proper local payment options instead of jumping through hoops.
