Starlink, the Elon Mask project that aims to provide satellite Internet, can start service before the end of the year.
Developed by SpaceX, the project aims to provide low-latency broadband internet and global coverage at low cost, so that rural areas can access connectivity.
Starlink development began in 2015 and prototypes were released in February 2018. It can provide connectivity to hard-to-reach regions on the planet, as well as provide competitive service to urban areas.
However, it appears that since 2015 we have finally had more certainty about the project. Elon Musk posted on Twitter that 420 satellites had been launched to orbit.
Before Elon Musk was published, billionaire netizens wondered about service coverage. The businessman replied that a special trial version would start within three months and the public trial version would be held within six months.
How many Starlink launches needed until minor/moderate coverage? Are you still targeting service in the US & Canada by end of this year?

This means that the posting will not be final. In fact, Starlink will start serving high latitude, i.e. those areas close to the pole and away from the equator.
At present, it is not known when the project will finally start in its entirety, but at least it is already known that 2020 will be the year when tests will begin to verify its operation.
We can only be patient and wait for more information.
