T-Mobile | It’s Almost Ready For T-Mobile ‼️👀 This Will Be Big

SpaceX's Starlink is nearing completion of its cellular direct-to-cell service, but requires FCC approval to launch commercially. While the current administration might only approve a text-only service, a future Republican administration is expected to approve higher-power data services, resulting in a complete package for T-Mobile customers in underserved areas.

Starlink's Launch and FCC Approval

• 00:00:09 SpaceX's Starlink direct-to-cell satellites are ready for launch, with enough satellites in orbit for robust coverage. However, the FCC must grant commercial operating clearance. The outcome is uncertain with the current administration, potentially limiting service to text-only.

Impact on T-Mobile and Future Administration

• 00:01:32 Under a potential future Republican FCC, Starlink may receive a waiver for higher power, enabling full data service through T-Mobile. This could significantly expand T-Mobile's coverage in areas currently lacking native service. Until then, the initial launch will likely be limited to text messaging.
