What do you think about the new free Internet from Elon Musk? Is it true that you can connect to it for free? Or maybe we need to buy special equipment to catch the Internet from its satellites?

Google had the same idea of providing free internet to the worldwide but for now it is not possible due to the expenses of satellites and I don't we need any special equipments, if yes then it is cheaper to buy a wifi connection for your own. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

If a product is free most likely you are the product. I don't know how exactly but I don't believe Musk is doing it just because of his big hearth.

He is doing for his tesla I guess because in future driverless cars are going to have more consumers so if he can provide lot of free perks then people will get attracted to his car and of course he can track the user data and can make use of their database for his future product engagements.

Every single genius has their own agenda which will benefit them. But let's take it the brighter side that he'll actually help a lot of communities if he can create a free internet to the entire world. But the collateral of it is, we're all interconnected and he will have the idea where everyone is sitting or walking, in short, he will have the access for everyone's location.

From what I've heard this wasn't supposed to be a free internet project, but something like $80 for more bandwidth than other providers offers.

This is no longer free internet. It's just that a colossal coverage area is planned for him. And yes, it will need a signal receiver that no one will give out for free either.

Where do you see this news related to free Internet.. Can you kindly add the link to the news related to free Internet from Elon Musk. Because If I could remember. The last time I used free Internet was the edge Era. When Edge was the fastest network in my country.

This is a question for personal research such as using Google for more verification and more understanding. But remember that their is know free business again, given a free internet for the masses that shows that the website owner is benefiting seriously with in directly. And free internet can be the easy way to penetrate into your email and other secret things in your phone, laptop,Facebook account, Instagram, Twitter account and telegram account, its very dangerous to free internet.

Aa far as I heard the free Internet is part of a the new satellite Internet idea of Elon Musk it will likely only be available for poorer people in 3rd world country at a fairly low speed. The premium part of that service will be sold to companies. Financial services firms will likely pay top dollar for the satellite Internet because the speed is 30% higher than fiber optic cables. This is very interesting for connections across continents. With the revenues from that Elon Musk will be able to offer free Internet for some people.

If this Internet really becomes 100% free (which I very much doubt), then it is guaranteed that we will be inundated with vast amounts of advertising (after all, it will be necessary to recoup the costs somehow). But I guarantee that it will never be free. One way or another, we will have to part with the money.

Totally agree, nothing in life is free and everything has a price.

Please be aware that Free internet is risky for people like us who has been in crypto and also holding amount because we don't know what's their intention in providing free internet. I have not heard any free internet announcement by Elon Musk, I know fb is trying to come up with global free internet service for more adoption and usage of the internet.
actually Facebook and messenger are already free for usage in my country though in FB you cannot see the photos and videos while you are in free mode.

I believe in Elon's capabilities on setting up a free Internet network. He is going to send some satellites on the space and provide the Earth with the network. Probably he is going to ask people to buy some equipment if they want to have free network - in the end nothing is for free.

nothing is actually free of course you have to buy a satellite receiver to use it and I think it is quite expensive

I don't know if it is possible in current state of earth orbit being polluted with satellites. So the main idea of Elon was to fill whole orbit with satellites that receive and send information worldwide for free, but this is only possible if there is room for such huge amount of them. I would be surprised if he'll manage to do this in a good way, of course. I guess in order to connect with it you'll have to buy sort of antenna (if you don't have one in your house)

I don't think there would be any additional gadget or equipment need to get to the free web offered by Elon Musk through his Starlink project. It dependent on an objective to make web free for all, so including additional equipment costs does't sound consistent by any means.
