ELON will use Starlink and 850 MHz to bring down all US telcos.

I watched a movie via Starlink on a flight this month. The quality was as good as I get from fiber.
Sounds like a liberal woke.
@d6 that was a falling car that hops. And you will never own one
Serious crush vs serious hate
when was the last time T innovated anything?
@cp I agree. Think cRAN.
Man someone here has a serious crush on Elon. Every day with these posts…
Elon doesn't think like a telco person like we do. Remember when he said a few years ago that he'll make flying cars - most people laughed at the idea. So where are we now...Exciting to see how he will DISRUPT the telco business....
Fiber backhaul vs satellite. You want to ride fiber all but the last few 100 feet. That’s the future. Towers closer to users not further away.
Didn't Elon fire everyone at one of his companies and tell them to reapply if they still wanted a job?
I am okay with that
Not sure if Elon will buy any telco (DISH 2.0 scenario) other than getting cheap access to selected Dish site/tower locations to compliment his Starlink/850 MHz play. DISH sc--wed all the site/tower owners and they need revenues - maybe some from Elon.
Elon Musk could theoretically buy AT&T about 5.8 times over if his entire estimated net worth could be converted to cash and AT&T sold at its current market value!

@an ..now you've done it, queu the muskrats' legion of fan boys, who will now jump on this post and defend the worlds richest grifter
How is Elon going to compete with the AT&T Guarantee? From the brilliant mind of Stankey!
Elon is going to need mid-band spectrum to get good speeds. 800mhz is low-band. AT&T just picked up some 600mhz, which is lower band.
When I see that mid-band, then I think AT&T will have new competition. Along with that 600mhz, AT&T picked up some additonal mid-band, around 3400mhz.
Either the guy who started an electric car business, satellite, underground boring, launches rockets and solar or the guy who lost money on every deal he has been a part of, running att into the ground and never having an innovative idea- which one wins head to head? This is not that hard to see how this turns out.
The only people worse than those who simp for Stank are you guys that chortle on elon's junk. Why are you posting this trash?
@an Satellite will annihilate FN. Good enough.
If it’s stink vs Elon it’s pretty obvious that stink cannot compete.
May the best innovator win!
Only with a clear view of the sky. He’ll have to build a worldwide network of antennaes to overcome this. He has to allocate his resources where it will make him the most profit and I’m not sure a worldwide antennae network is it. He has other growth options such cyber cabs and humanoid robots. The hype is bigger than reality.
