SpaceX, T-Mobile to connect satellites to cellphones in remote areas

We’ll see. This will be interesting to see how it plays out. Both T-Mobile and SpaceX are capable companies but they always boast these grandiose plans that technically do what they say but turn out to be lackluster.

*EDIT* excluding the space exploration division of the company. I had a brain fart for a moment and forgot about its huge successes.

I was thinking more on the satellite internet portion which this would be concentrated on with T-Mobile most likely.

What has SpaceX done that has turned out even remotely lackluster?

Okay, excluding the space agency portion. I honestly forgot about that for some reason. Because of the nature of the post, I was focused on the satellite internet part of the company. Which has been somewhat lackluster.

How so, I personally know quite a few people using the service, and it has been nothing close to lackluster.

starlink so far has been lackluster compared to the promises, and it's only getting worse.

Except the FCC, users on Reddit, most news outlets doing investigative journalism, etc.
