SpaceX filed a filing to the FCC. It wants permission to launch up to 100,000 new-generation Starlink satellites. The plan promises gigabit speeds and AI networking for ground users. The company already runs thousands in low Earth orbit.
Experts doubt Starlink can challenge with U.S. carriers like Verizon or T-Mobile. Some think it may impact cable broadband more than mobile phone services. Craig Moffett from MoffettNathanson called the idea weak against mobile rivals.
