Last week Comcast announced plans to partner with Starlink from SpaceX to offer Internet service to its business customers.
This move will allow Comcast to offer Internet to customers at multiple locations even if it is not able to offer service at that location through its traditional network.
“As the first major network provider to collaborate with Starlink, we’re excited to uniquely enhance our extensive managed connectivity portfolio with advanced satellite capabilities to better serve our enterprise customers,” said Jon Friedman, Sr. Vice President, Product Strategy and Operations, Comcast Business. “Starlink’s LEO satellite technology complements our existing network infrastructure, extends our reach and further enhances Comcast Business’ ability to deliver reliable connectivity solutions to enterprises with a human touch.”
“Starlink is excited to work with Comcast Business to deliver reliable connectivity to customers,” said Jason Fritch, Vice President of Starlink Enterprise Sales at SpaceX. “This agreement with a leading service provider is an acknowledgement of Starlink’s growing role as a critical element in modern enterprise networks.”
This move is a huge win for Starlink as it will help bring the new Internet service new business. This should help Starlink grow in profitability as it faces new competition from Amazon’s new satellite Internet service launching next year.
