Elon Musk's SpaceX is aiming to integrate Starlink satellite internet terminals into the US Federal Aviation Administration's airspace system to modernize its technology infrastructure. Recently, 4,000 Starlink terminals were shipped to the FAA, with testing already underway at an air-traffic control lab. This initiative raises concerns about potential conflicts of interest, particularly with Verizon's existing $2 billion contract for similar upgrades. Amid increasing scrutiny of air traffic safety, the FAA is exploring Starlink's capability to enhance telecommunications for better weather data across remote locations.
