SpaceX gets FCC green light for Starlink direct-to-phone deal with T-Mobile | TechCrunch
Briefly

The FCC highlights that the Starlink and T-Mobile collaboration will enhance emergency service access, especially in remote areas lacking terrestrial network capabilities.
Non-trivial engineering challenges exist in syncing mobile phones with satellites travelling at high speeds, but solutions appear to be in place demonstrated by a successful video call.
The partnership enables customers to connect from remote locations, showcasing potential benefits especially during emergencies, as seen when direct-to-phone connections facilitated communication during Hurricane emergencies.
Despite delays in rollout, SpaceX's regulatory approval fortifies its competitive edge in the U.S. market against rivals such as Lynk, which lacks commercial partners.
