Verizon just blinked.
Musk didn’t.
Would you switch?
SpaceX just told the FCC that T Mobile and the legacy carriers are trying to harm Starlink on purpose.
Their words. "Misplaced desire to harm a competitor."
T Mobile is Starlink's own partner.
When your partner starts lobbying against you, the partnership is over.
SpaceX or T Mobile. Who's do you pick?
AT&T, Verizon & T Mobile compete on everything.
Except Elon Musk.
They formed a joint satellite company together. Then asked the FCC to pull 290 MHz from Starlink right before today's vote.
I bid on jobs for my work. 3 rivals don't team up unless they're losing.
Big 3 or Musk?
7 million phones in Brazil already hooked to satellites. No new phone. No dish.
The FCC votes today on giving satellites more room. The big carriers want their best bands kept out.
Would you switch carriers for this?
Yes or no?
7 MILLION phones already connected to Starlink satellites in Brazil. And there's room for 50 MILLION.
Starlink Mobile is now live with Vivo, bringing messaging and supported apps to places where regular cell towers can't reach.
That's a HUGE deal for a country with vast rainforests, remote villages, and highways where phone signals disappear.
Starlink Mobile V2 is coming, with plans to bring high-speed mobile internet to those same hard-to-reach places.
Your ordinary phone, connected from space. No satellite dish in your backpack required.

Texas just paused new data center projects because the grid can't keep up.
The power has to come before the AI. Florida is next in line for these builds.
Should data centers have to bring their own power?
Agree or disagree?
Banks are delaying plans to offload part of a $15 billion loan to fund a data center tied to Anthropic in Texas, after the state put a hold on new projects while assessing risks to its power grid bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
FCC votes tomorrow on unlocking 482 MHz for Starlink Mobile.
AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile want the best bands kept locked.
They say 300 million customers depend on it.
I’m in infrastructure. That's not protecting customers.
That's protecting a monopoly.
Open the full 482 MHz.
Yes or no?
United planned Starlink Wi-Fi on 65% of its fleet.
Then flyers started picking flights just to get it. So Kirby scrapped the plan. Whole fleet now. 661 planes and counting.
I fly more than 200-300 hours minimum each year. Starlink is necessary for me!
Would you switch airlines for Starlink Wi-Fi? Yes or no?

A $12,000 Mac just got beat by a $700 PC.
Same rule on every job site: pay for what gets the work done, not the logo on the box.
Would you still buy the Mac? Yes or no?
Who you betting on - Musk or the Verizon CEO?
Yes or no: Starlink takes real market share from the big carriers in under 3 years?
Yesterday I asked if your carrier should be protected from Starlink.
Almost every answer: no.
One guy had AT&T Fiber 2 months. Dropouts, slowdowns, zero customer service, torn up yard.
Another runs Starlink at home, fiber at the office. Same price.
Worst cell phone carrier story?
Verizon's CEO says Starlink needs 4-6 years and $300-500 billion to build a real US carrier network.
Musk says 2-3 years. Lease the towers that already exist. Satellites can fill the gaps.
I build infrastructure for a living. My money's on Musk.
Starlink just passed AT&T Fiber.
13.6M subscribers vs 13.31M. Up from 4.4M in under two years.
Now AT&T, Verizon and T Mobile want the FCC to keep satellite in the "rural gap" lane.
Should your carrier be protected from competition?
Yes or no?
State Dept just ordered non-emergency U.S. gov staff and families out of Saudi Arabia.
Iran backed Houthis hitting airports and critical infrastructure. Civilian casualties. Escalation risk. Seen multiple missile and drone attacks.
I work over there.
Would you stay on the job, or pull out?
1100+ of you answered: would you drop your carrier for Starlink Mobile?
Most said yes.
The catch was price.
What's a fair monthly price for one line?
17%Under $30
51%$30 - 50
26%$50 - $70
6%Not switching
