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