iPhones may soon be able to use satellite connections indoors
Briefly

The FCC has highlighted an International Telecoms Union filing that discusses an extensive network of over 8,000 satellites, including frequencies used by Globalstar. Notably, the filing was initially made on behalf of France's Airbus and later transferred to CCC Communication Holdings France, which is believed to be managed by Ronald Denwood, a senior director at Apple. His ties to several companies previously acquired by Apple suggest a strategic significance to these satellite endeavors. With a lifespan of 12.5 years for the satellites, Apple's intention to leverage and monetize these investments seems likely and urgent, particularly to enable connectivity in remote areas.
Denwood's involvement in CCC Communication Holdings France reflects Apple's strategic importance in satellite plans, signaling their intent to monetize a multi-billion dollar investment soon.
