EE could use Starlink?

Kirigaya_Kazuto — Fri, 26 Aug 2022 11:59:51 GMT

Looking at this article: Elon Musk announces Starlink will provide dead-zone coverage for T-Mobile - The Verge

Is it something that if successful, t-Mobile (USA) and SpaceX want to open up worldwide

Video time where it states this: https://youtu.be/Qzli-Ww26Qs?t=957

Would this be something that EE is interested in joining up with?

That's a very interesting article, @Kirigaya_Kazuto.

I'm sure if we're involved with anything similar in future, it'll be announced on our Social Media platforms and the EE Newsroom.

@Kirigaya_Kazuto

When Starlink actually have a reliable service it might be worth looking into,

but at the moment they are constrained by bandwidth and latency, and is no use for Video for this service.

Will be good to see it in a live product, and not just a tech discussion

Also to note BT have their own Geo-Stationary Satellite Broadband initiative which they partnered with OneWeb to rollout, so cant see BT going with Starlink..
