Starlink Plans To Launch Its Own Mobile Phone

Summary

SpaceX, the company behind the satellite internet service Starlink, is thinking about making its own mobile phones. This move could help Starlink grow by offering new ways for people to connect to the internet, especially in areas where traditional phone and internet services are weak or unavailable. By creating their own phones, Starlink aims to provide better service through their satellite network, making internet access easier and more reliable in remote parts of South Africa and other countries. This could change how people use mobile internet, especially for those in rural locations where phone signal and internet coverage are poor. The new phones could work directly with Starlink satellites, potentially lowering costs and improving connection quality compared to current providers who rely on cell towers.
