Abstract: The traditional international communications field is facing challenges brought by satellite broadband services represented by SpaceX. SpaceX expects to complete the deployment of Starlink satellites in 2027, which will cover land, vast oceans and skies on all continents. The asymmetric advantages of satellite broadband may shake the existing customer base of international communication operators. This article studies the technical advantages of Starlink products and the huge impact it may have on operators, and analyzes it from the aspects of national information sovereignty, operator ecology, etc. , provides response strategies for international communication operators, including digital transformation from a strategic perspective, accelerating the construction of infrastructure such as Internet data centers, customizing related services according to the individual needs of enterprises, etc., and maintaining the competitiveness and competitiveness of enterprises through a variety of measures. The business continues to grow.

4 Conclusion
In 2015, SpaceX CEO Elon Reeve Musk announced the launch of a high-speed Internet plan in space, the Starlink project, in Seattle. With performance that far exceeds traditional satellite Internet and a global network that is not limited by terrestrial infrastructure, Starlink can provide high-speed Internet services to locations where network service is unreliable, expensive, or completely unavailable. People in all regions of the world, no matter where they are, can access satellite broadband networks through satellite receivers as long as they can see the sky. The global satellite Internet system developed by the Starlink project can be replicated and applied in similar environments such as Marsÿ
