The American space company SpaceX plans to provide Voice over IP (VoIP) services, Ars Technica reports, referring to the corresponding application to the US Federal Communications Commission.

The document, in particular, notes that " users [of the Starlink system] will be able to use a regular third-party phone connected to a standard analog terminal adapter of the session establishment protocol, or a phone with its own IP address selected from a list of certified models."

It also notes that this service is planned to be provided mainly to residents of rural areas with low incomes "at prices reasonably comparable to urban tariffs."

Ars Technica recalls that currently, more than 10 thousand people in the United States and abroad are users of the SpaceX global satellite Internet system Starlink.

In January, SpaceX successfully launched a Falcon 9 heavy rocket with a record number of satellites (143 spacecraft).

In August 2020, Ars Technica reported that, according to the Speedtest test from Ookla, the speed of the Starlink Internet when downloading is 11-60 megabits per second, downloading-5-18 megabits per second. At the same time, the signal delay time is 31-94 milliseconds. For some beta users of the system, the ping was 20-21 milliseconds.
