When asked whether the terminal for receiving Starlink satellite Internet will be mobile, Elon Musk answered in the affirmative. "The terminal will be mobile, so you can move it anywhere or use it in a moving van or truck," Musk said.

The American entrepreneur spoke about increasing the speed and reducing the delay [...] in March. The first batch of satellites of the global network project Starlink was launched in May 2019.
