See I like the theory that they will use Starlink, but what I have a problem with is how they are going to connect every isp to it. Because you have your ISPs, but then your ISPs have their own ISPs. Also exactly how would the internet go down? Will it be by power, and if so, would Starlink even work unless you have the base station to connect to it? Is it by destroying the pathways of the internet exchange points, and having the Starlink act as one for backup, and if so, do they already setup base stations for IXPs to utilize Starlink. This is what I've always been curious about.
It would have to go directly to the phone. Starlink already has satellites in orbit that can send SMS directly to the phone. I believe T-Mobile has a deal with starlink to do this
From the comments below I understood that part but will the current infrastructure in place be able to handle all the bandwidth? I would understand if they are just trying to preserve calling and sms but internet as well? When the power went out one time where I live, everyone was using the cell towers at the same time and the internet wasn't usable, though sms and calling did without issue. Kind of like how when you go to a concert and the phones don't work, everybody is hogging the bandwidth. I can't even imagine if you are in a city like New York or Los Angeles. Unless T-mobile has upgraded their equipment that I don't know about. I also know you can directly connect to the satellite with the phone but that's only available with 5G devices, so what would happen to those that don't have 5G?
Edit: Disregard the last question, I'm a dumb dumb.
Oh that's interesting, I didn't know that it required 5G
Sorry just double checked. I heard Elon Musk and the ceo of T-mobile say during the press conference that it will work on current 5G devices so I assumed it meant only 5G. Did more digging and it's actually using the 4G spectrum of 1900Mhz my bad. Disregard what I said previously. Still, from the article the plan is only for sms with voice and maybe data in the future.
I think it might be via cell towers? Elon had a tweet about StarLink satellites being launched that connected to cell towers.
Our neighborhood’s private fiber network hooks in to a nearby cell tower that has an AT&T line to it. That line goes down, we lose our internet, but we still have an internet connection via the cell tower.
There was a badlands media Substack article (and post here) recently that talked about Space Command, StarLink, these satellites, and free energy.
My isp has an isp who has an isp who borrow’s an isp from my fren’s isp. Sorry, /sarc and only one sip of coffee
