Over in Europe, SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet service is available in western nations like Spain, France, Germany, and Italy, among others. Interestingly, Ukraine is mentioned as a waitlisted region. Elon Musk deployed Starlink terminals in the war-torn country to help the citizens and its army with maintaining core communications, as Ukraine's existing ground-based networking infrastructure came under attack from Russian forces.
It was revealed that the project to sustain Starlink connectivity in Ukraine was partly funded by the U.S. government and a few other allied countries, too. But after it was reported that SpaceX was looking at expenses worth hundreds of millions of dollars and needed help from the government, Musk boldly proclaimed that SpaceX would continue funding Starlink in Ukraine for free.
In a tweet shared by the official SpaceX Twitter handle, the Elon Musk-led company announced that its satellite internet service is also available in Finland, following its expansion of coverage in Sweden and Norway. SpaceX, however, has even more ambitious coverage plans for the near future.
