SpaceX and T-Mobile teaming up for “something special”
Space X and T-Mobile are teaming up for a major announcement in Texas.
The companies are announcing plans to increase connectivity.
SpaceX “chief engineer” and boss Elon Musk, plus T Mobile’s CEO Mike Sievert are presenting the event at the SpaceX Starbase site in South Texas.
That’s where a Starship prototype was recently loaded onto the launchpad.
The two companies haven’t given much more away about the event, though Musk is already teasing the event will be something special.
SpaceX’s satellite communications division Starlink is launching a mega-constellation of satellites to low Earth orbit with the aim of providing internet connectivity to underserved regions of the world.
Analysts predict the deal will combine Startlink’s service with T-Mobile’s home coverage, but we’ll have to wait for the big event.
