    This is what Apple should be working on instead of basically just sitting on cash.

    More players, cheaper for consumers.

    Brilliant!!

    Text will be golden, like …LIKE Apple has in their new iPhones.

    Voice though… hmm I gotta wonder if it’ll sound like old overseas calls or bad zoom calls with the lag?

    But hell yeah this is big. IF it works…

          Ah nice. Well a single 1080p steam on Netflix consumes about 4Mbps. VoIP calls about 1.7Mbps.

          It’ll do but yeah it’s not great. It’s definitely enough for surfing the net.

          I wonder how big these “cell zones” are.

          Produce could make a difference here too. I frequently travel so having one plan that works everywhere would be awesome. Hopefully the price is right. Starlink internet itself is pricey.
