(ANSA) – ROME, MAY 8 – World broadcasters in St Peter’s for the papal conclave are using Elon Musk’s Starlink internet service to get around the comms blackout around the Sistine Chapel.
With a camera, microphone and Starlink kit, several TV crews are relying on Musk’s company’s internet connection to report on the conclave from St. Peter’s Square, also to avoid problems related to the blocking of telephone coverage ordered to guarantee the isolation of the cardinals in the Sistine Chapel.
“In St. Peter’s, journalists connect to Starlink for live broadcasts,” wrote Musk’s Italy man Andrea Stroppa on X, publishing some photos of the stations for the broadcasters set up inside the square, each equipped with a tripod with an antenna, a white square tablet, for the high-speed satellite internet connection.
