T-Mobile and Starlink are closer to launching satellite-to-phone services, with the FCC granting conditional approval for coverage in areas lacking mobile networks.
The FCC promotes competition in the space economy by encouraging partnerships between mobile carriers and satellite operators to eliminate mobile dead zones.
T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert expressed the vision of universal connection, suggesting that users could access mobile services as long as they have a clear view of the sky.
While the service will initially offer messaging capabilities, T-Mobile and Starlink intend to develop it to support data and voice communications capabilities over time.
