So Musk send the first 60 Starlink satellites into orbit -
the first 60 of a planned total of 12,000 by the mid 2020s.
The goal is a global, everywhere accessible and faster internet.
this is a nice background on the technological and economic aspects of it:

Currently, I am thinking more of the possible political implications, and what they will mean for the project.
Starlink could make attempts of governments to control the internet access of their citizens pointless.
Since information control is a critical part of how China and other regimes keep control, I doubt that they will let Musk just take away their monopoly on what is acceptable online and what is not.
I fear that SpaceX is going to be the trigger for a Space War.
