Italy is considering using satellites from Elon Musk's Starlink to provide internet services in remote areas. The government is discussing the Starlink project with regional administrations to test a "space-based service" for areas without terrestrial infrastructure. This comes as the country aims to provide fixed-line internet speeds of at least 1 Gigabit per second to homes and businesses by 2026. The satellite-based internet connection would help make up for delays in the rollout of fiber plans and is seen as a crucial part of the post-pandemic recovery plan.

Traffic from Elon Musk's Starlink satellite network has nearly tripled this year, according to data from IT security firm Cloudflare.
