Recent approvals from the FCC have paved the way for SpaceX and T-Mobile to enhance their Starlink service, offering direct-to-smartphone communication in remote areas. SpaceX has successfully launched multiple batches of Starlink satellites, expanding their constellation capabilities. A recent launch saw 23 Starlink satellites deployed, bringing the total number closer to constellation completion. Meanwhile, the collaboration aims to bring satellite service to under-served regions, with beta testing expected to begin soon. This initiative comes amidst competition from major telecom providers like AT&T and Verizon, who are challenging the direct-to-cell service model.
