AT&T CEO John Stink: Starlink Mobile won’t be able to penetrate walls.
Elon Musk & SpaceX: We’ve acquired 800 MHz spectrum, which will allow Starlink Mobile to provide better indoor coverage, including signals that can penetrate walls and other obstacles.
C suite are underestimating Starlink Mobile.
Just keep building the fantasy factory and prison like tracking systems your employees hate you for - instead of fighting this existential threat. Bunch of m0rons in Dallas.
Imagine thinking the 800mhz spectrum is something special. Which by the way hasn’t been approved by the fcc yet. It can broadcast thru walls…like any normal router but with speeds upto…gulp….30 mbps. If you’re the only one on it. But at 800mhz there will be thousands using it. TMobile sold it years ago because it was outdated for customer needs. That Elon is sure an innovator.
@bw Ahh, the wisdom of the average AT&T trog never fails to amaze.
The 800 mhz is just to get to the towers which he doesn’t have any. A cell phone does not have enough power to transmit to space indoors.
Put me on the surplus list PLEASE!!... No loyalty to us worker bees
I made a horrible career decision in joining AT&T right out of college. My peers did warn me, and are now ahead of me by leaps and bounds financially and in career progression. Now, all I want is to be able to say is that I was here when it burned down.
Starlink will be a fourth carrier the question is at what cost. Existing individual satellite partnerships (such as AT&T and Verizon's investments in AST SpaceMobile, Verizon's work with Skylo, and T-Mobile's work with SpaceX's Starlink) remain active and unchanged.
@a8 Elon is the BEST. Stank is an id--t.
right before we abolish ICE let them take'm both and get rid of them.
Elon is the BEST. Stank is an id--t.
@a6 That won't actually matter. The employees will not be making the move anyway. They will all be cut or their companies will be spun off when AT&T is bought out for the spectrum.
Well, when Starlink takes over it will be easier to buy AT&T with fewer employees.
This is the last critical piece of the spectrum puzzle needed for SpaceX to provide complete phone coverage in America, but don’t you worry! We have RTO and presence reports to make you quit and H1Bs to replace you! We don’t care about losing market share as long as we populate our offices to make the Blackrock overlords happy.
