[Redaktion]

SpaceX has told investors it is considering launching a standalone Starlink mobile service for US consumers, according to the Financial Times. SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell raised the possibility during the company's IPO roadshow, saying SpaceX could build its own terrestrial US mobile network and sell directly to consumers rather than through carrier partners.

There's problems:
 * The plans are generally more expensive than cellular for those who can just get that
 * Starlink to mobile is near useless now: texting and what's app.


Once I can get 1-10 Mbps on my phone anywhere for any type of data, that's the game changer!
