Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

SpaceX Concerns

SpaceX is moving fast on both Starlink Mobile as well as Starlink Broadband. Last week, Bloomberg reported that the company was talking with tower companies to possibly lease up to 80,000 wireless towers to build a standalone mobile network.

Schulman said today, “I operate under the assumption that everything SpaceX says they will do, they will do. And that they will execute flawlessly.”

He said, “We always knew that they needed a terrestrial network to have any chance at providing a competitive service. And so, I think that SpaceX realizes this. And they’re exploring a potential path to creating a terrestrial network. I think we should take it quite seriously.”

@a5 Good to know if I’m ever in the market to buy a rocket. Last I checked, most consumers aren’t interested in buying a rocket either.

Maybe the real concern isn't whether Starlink can compete, but what happens when customers finally have another place to take their business. Competition has a funny way of getting everyone's attention. Maybe Verizon should spend less time worrying about SpaceX and more time worrying about why its own customers are getting fed up.

@a2 The man has put 11,000 satellites into orbit on reusable rockets of his firm's own design in just SEVEN YEARS (the same amount of time it's taken Vz to convert to 5g ON THE GROUND and they're still not done). Some of his reusable rockets have now launched more times than any Space Shuttle did. His company annually launches more rocket missions than the rest of the world COMBINED.

You need to stop sniffing your own BS.

T- Mobile just rejected starlink. They have a long way to go to getting things running right. Plus, it's Elon Musk. Has any of his products work correctly with no value or benefit. The guy is not an engineer. Bullsh-t talker.
