SpaceX has announced a plan to give T-Mobile customers direct access to the Starlink satellite constellation, ensuring they’ll have mobile coverage nearly everywhere in the US.
“I think this is really a massive game changer,” said SpaceX CEO Elon Musk during a live event at SpaceX’s Starbase facility in Texas. “In a nutshell, it’s no more dead zones.”
The challenge: Cell coverage is widespread in the US, but there are still more than half a million square miles — nearly twice the size of Texas — where you won’t find a signal from any carrier.
