Boston broadband startup Starry fills out $100M round

Boston-based Starry Inc., a startup helmed by the founder of now-defunct TV-over-the-web startup Aereo, has raised another $69 million, according to a federal filing. The new cash fills out a round that Starry began raising about six months ago with a $31 million haul.

A company spokesperson declined to comment on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing, but said the four-year-old Starry has now raised $163 million in total.

The fundraising comes as Starry looks to drastically expand its wireless broadband technology in cities around the country. Rather than connecting homes to the internet via underground fiberoptic cables, like internet service providers do today, Starry aims to beam internet signals to home receivers over the air.
