@dc I'm tired of going to my car to make a call. Could we get some phonebooths?
@e6 Why wait? Switch now. Or are you full off bull excr-ment?
@eb Verizon will be more than happy to add Starlink’s data traffic to their fiber backbone and collect billions to allow then to do so. Cha Ching.
Like I have said…Verizon needs Starlink more than Starlink needs Verizon.
@dd 💯
@ch STOP 🤣
Even though I indirectly work for Chris and already have ATT. I will be jumping ship to sign up for Elon service the first week it’s offered. I have been her more than 10 years and VZ is always late to game.
This "analyst" first started publishing this year.... sounds like someone trying to make a name for himself with catchy headlines.... wake me up when someone legitimate has something to say
@cy Actually he’s turning every Tesla into a cell phone. No need for those pesky handsets.
@cz Even if Tatorhead offered free phone service, most users won’t switch to an unknown. There will be those early adopters and the groupies who will switch. Those who actually understand how the network is supposed to work won’t switch.
Barrier to entry to a ultility business that is a commodity in mobile and broadband space is CapEx. Consolidation will shift business models and those who can execute win.
SpaceX is going to benefit all Telcom investors
@ac History shows that statements like "there is no way Musk is..." were shortsighted and ignorant. I'm not a fan of the sociopathic techno na-i but give credit where credit is due. Starlink is easily the world largest wireless network.
Living in denial is for the feeble-minded.
@cy I doubt it. What I don’t doubt is there are a group of people that are trying to make themselves feel better about their job security and not realizing there is a human being that is breaking barriers that have existed for decades and centuries.
@cc You are correct. Every SpaceX phone will be equipped with their own solid rocket boosters. Impress your friends as your new Roadster phone defies gravity and does flips all on its own.
Think of different business model via consolidation of companies... not another competitor in mobile and broadband space. In two years Vz will have a completely different C-Level Team
This is just a Chris flood smear piece
@ac Correct, it will be far more than just a phone and it will be cheaper, built by his company and better than current offerings.
I am no expert but there is no way Musk is buying spectrum for you to use a smartphone.
Okay, there is no difference between the two companies, if the analyst feels so.
