Starlink, which is the satellite internet unit of tech entreprenuer Elon Musk‘s SpaceX, expects to provide global internet coverage by September, its president said. It, however, will need regulatory approval in every country to provide telecom services.

“We’ve successfully deployed 1,800 or so satellites and once all those satellites reach their operational orbit, we will have continuous global coverage, so that should be like September timeframe,” said Starlink president Gwynne Shotwel during a virtual conference, Reuters reported.

“But then we have regulatory work to go into every country and get approved to provide telecoms services,” he added.

Starlink aims to deploy 12,000 satellites, which will roughly cost $10 billion. Currently, it’s providing beta services in 11 countries, such as Canada and the United Kingdom.

Musk said last month that Starlink had received more than 500,000 preorders for its internet service.
