Orbital Uplink is an independent, non-commercial blog covering the satellite internet industry.

We track the mega-constellations racing to connect the planet from orbit, analyze the business and policy behind them, and explain the technology that makes broadband from space possible.

What we cover

  • Low Earth orbit (LEO) mega-constellations — Starlink, Amazon Kuiper, Eutelsat OneWeb, Telesat Lightspeed, and more
  • Direct-to-cell and satellite-to-phone connectivity
  • Ground stations, user terminals, and antenna technology
  • Spectrum allocation, ITU filings, and regulatory fights
  • Pricing, coverage, capacity, and the economics of orbital broadband
  • GEO operators and the shifting competitive landscape

Our stance

We are independent and unofficial. We do not speak for any company, and we are not paid by any operator. When we cite a number — a subscriber count, a contract value, a spectrum grant — we link to a source you can check yourself. Connectivity data shapes real decisions, and getting it wrong erodes trust.
