Elon Musk shared on X:
“SpaceX just achieved peak download speed of 17Mb/s from satellite direct to unmodified Samsung Android phone”
Ofcourse it’s all in pilot/experimental stage but the future is clear, internet access, anywhere through Low Orbit Satelites using ordinary smartphones (future models probably). National governments will have less control over mobile networks. Although my guess is it only works outside.
