I wish it were different companies doing this.
Which ones?
The best company to do this would be owned by the public and provide services in a net neutral way. Both SpaceX and Telekom showed in the past they don't give a shit about net neutrality or even their customers for that matter.
I'm not sure how SpaceX has shown that they don't care about NN or customers. I'm not defending SpaceX (I used to work there, I'd never go back), but I'm just curious about your reasons.
The emphasis added in this post seems to speak to the limitation of the technology, because initial support will be for SMS and MMS. Then later on it will support voice and general data which require more bandwith.
Second, I'm surprised T-Mobile is willing to announce a deal with Elon Musk, given he reneged on the last couple of big deals he's announced
"near" times "most" = pretty bad
Whenever a corporation uses that kind of qualifiers, you just know they're talking out their ass.
Starlink is another grift by Elon to continue his ponzi practices of pushing some grand future promise to get suckers to invest in his shit instead of investing in public goods. heres a thread on how much of a mess starlink actually is https://twitter.com/rdrimmel/status/1563158073694310401
governments should be forcing companies to build fiber with all the public funding they've been spending on corporate bonuses
