SpaceX just got a massive FCC green light for Starlink Mobile The FCC has approved SpaceX to launch and operate up to 15,000 next-generation satellites built for direct-to-phone connectivity The new system is designed to: • Target peak speeds of up to 150 Mbps per user • Connect ordinary cell phones directly from space • Operate in very low orbit at roughly 326–335 km • Use T-Mobile spectrum alongside spectrum SpaceX is acquiring from EchoStar • Deliver orders of magnitude more capacity than the first-generation Starlink Mobile constellation SpaceX currently has roughly 650 dedicated mobile satellites in orbit The FCC also granted a waiver giving SpaceX a path to provide satellite wireless service without requiring a spectrum-leasing agreement with a terrestrial mobile operator Starlink Mobile is moving far beyond basic dead-zone connectivity SpaceX is building toward a full 5G cellular network in space

United Airlines says they already flown more than 31 million passengers on @Starlink-powered aircraft across more than 464,000 flights, powering 14.2M devices. Starting this week, passengers will be able to watch NFL games on their Starlink-enabled seatback screen. Last month, I finally got to experience Starlink and a United flight for the first time. I was getting reliable Wi-Fi speeds of 370+ Mbps. It was awesome.

View of Starship in space from a Starlink V3 satellite on Flight 13. This composite is made of imagery from four separate cameras on a single satellite. Six of the satellites were equipped with cameras to scan Starship’s heat shield and transmit imagery down to operators to continue testing methods of analyzing Starship’s heat shield readiness for return to launch site on future missions

NEWS: Flow Cayman partners with Starlink to keep networks online during hurricanes. “If a hurricane cuts off one of our towers from the core fibre-optic network, then the tower will switch to the Starlink backup and our users will still be connected via satellite” • Starlink will provide satellite backup for Flow’s mobile network • Designed to keep customers connected during hurricanes and major outages • Network can switch to Starlink if traditional infrastructure is disrupted • Rollout expected before the peak of hurricane season Another telecom operator is integrating Starlink into critical communications infrastructure.

Starlink in flight Wi-Fi review: "I just tried Starlink Wi-Fi on United — and I can't believe they're not charging for this. This is a game changer. The experience itself was surprisingly seamless. Once I logged in on my phone, I used a QR code to connect my laptop instantly, because yes you can connect unlimited devices. I even uploaded a 40-second TikTok, something I’ve never attempted mid-flight because it usually requires leaving the app open and hoping it doesn’t fail. With Starlink, it took about five minutes and worked on the first try. I can guarantee I’ll notice the difference the next time I fly without Wi-Fi like I experienced on this flight."
