Elon Musk inaugurated SpaceX’s Starlink internet services in Indonesia on Sunday as the world’s largest archipelago seeks to boost connectivity to its most remote areas.
The inauguration took place at a community health center in Bali. The billionaire, clad in a green batik and mobbed by onlookers, said he was excited to bring Starlink to Indonesian villages with no connectivity or very low bandwidth, adding “this can really be a lifesaver” for patients seeking medical treatment.
