Meanwhile, the government announced the first batch of state subsidized areas for optical fiber and 1Gbps broadband. < / P > < p > in addition to the use of optical fiber, the UK government will also consult on the use of new sources of wireless broadband. "We call for more evidence to explore the most experimental and innovative solutions to this problem, whether it is the use of LEO satellites or high-altitude balloons hovering over the most remote areas," said Oliver Dowden, British Secretary of culture. Our consultation will help determine which of these ideas are feasible and which are not. " < / P > < p > in 2020, the British government acquired 400 million pounds (about US $550 million) of shares in oneweb, a satellite broadband company. It is reported that oneweb has negotiated with BT to provide Internet services through BT. < / P > < p > SpaceX has launched more than 1300 LEO satellite chains and started to provide broadband services to parts of the UK. Oneweb has launched 110 satellites and plans to launch a total of 600. Eutelsat and others are also expanding their satellite coverage. < / P > < p > last week, SpaceX e-mailed trial customers of the star Link Internet service, saying it would start at 89 pounds a month (about $123) and expand to remote areas in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The data transmission speed reported by users exceeds 100Mbps. < / P > < p > exploring the use of balloons and drones to provide broadband services will be similar to the projects of technology giants such as Google and Facebook. Google's project Loon uses balloons in the stratosphere to provide Internet connectivity, while Facebook's Aquila project uses solar powered drones. But both projects have now been shelved.
