WASHINGTON, Oct. 31, 2024 - A large portion of Virginia and West Virginia residents within the National Radio Quiet Zone are now eligible to receive high speed satellite internet service after a nearly three year effort.
The newly established option for residents of the NRQZ to receive satellite internet is a result of a collaborative effort between the National Science Foundation, Elon Musk’s Starlink and the National Radio Astronomy Observatory.
The announcement was made on the NSF website on Oct. 25.
