SpaceX与TMO合作, 计划推出星链与地面宽带网络融合提供'无死角覆盖'

计划提供星链与地面网络融合服务, 以覆盖地面网络信号盲区.
前期是文字消息, 后期加入语音, 至于是否享用高质量网络接入服务(图片, 视频多媒体), 取决于用户数和money ^_^
手机不用换, TMO的用户直接可以使用(前提是充钱喽)
星链2的卫星代使用了超大天线, 应该也是为了更好的为手机用户提供覆盖.

国内卫星通信相关的服务, 应该也在规划中, 不知道啥时候可以看到自己的"星链"和服务.
当然, 这项服务适合不差钱的经常外出且需要高质量电信服务的商务客户, 或者野外工作和活动人员的保障.

SpaceX and T-Mobile team up to use Starlink satellites to `end mobile dead zones`
SpaceX founder Elon Musk and T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert said that their companies are working to “end mobile dead zones,” and will launch a new mobile service enabled by Starlink second-generation satellites and T-Mobile bandwidth.

SpaceX has launched more than 2,700 LEO satellites.
Speaking at SpaceX facility in Boca Chica, Texas on Thursday night, Sievert said T-Mobile will be dedicating a “slice of its mid-band PCS spectrum” to be integrated into Starlink satellites launched next year.
T-Mobile users will be able to use messaging, MMS and certain messaging apps, from remote points across the lower 48 states, Alaska, Puerto Rico and Hawaii and even some remote points in the water.
Eventually, the service will work with voice, Sievert said. T-Mobile plans to include the service in its most popular mobile plans but did not disclose specific pricing.
Musk said the service will work with Starlink’s second generation satellites, which have very large antennae and will be able to transmit directly to a cell or mobile phone.
The service won’t require mobile users to get a new phone. Musk said in or after a natural disaster, even if all the cell towers are taken out, the planned service should work.
Musk specified, “This won’t have the kind of bandwidth a Starlink terminal will have, but this will enable texting, it will enable images and if there aren’t too many people in the cell zone, you can even potentially have a little bit of video.” He added, “We will no longer read about these tragedies that happened where people got lost an if only they could have called for help they’d be ok.”
T-Mobile will also offer “reciprocal roaming,” so that visitors to the US from outside the country can use the service if they also partner with SpaceX to enable this service globally. Musk and Sievert invited carriers overseas to join their alliance.
As CNBC Pro previously reported, Morgan Stanley analysts wrote in a note on the sector this week that they favored T-Mobile as a top pick within telecom services, and they “expect T-Mobile to continue to take share, driving superior top- and bottom-line growth, with the buyback likely to commence soon.”
