Elon Musk Will Put The Internet In School Puses 

The company told the FCC that it is currently working with school districts in rural areas of the country to bring SpaceX satellite Internet services to students on buses, turning “travel time into connection time,” it said in a statement. Elon Musk’s company has told the FCC that it will focus the pilot program on bus routes that last more than an hour and are “primarily unavailable to other mobile broadband services.”

In the letter, SpaceX called on the FCC to approve federal funding to support Wi-Fi school buses.  Earlier this year, FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworth announced a proposal to channel funds from a program designed to equip schools and libraries with Wi-Fi to bring connectivity to school buses.

Company representatives noted that many low-income students also do not have Internet access at home. “No service is better suited than Starlink to bridge this gap,” the company added.
