This is not a good statement to make MR Dan. Nice catch walt. These legacy telco guys cant get out of their own way.
"If $SPCX build a wireless network it will look and feel like every other network" - @Dan_Schulman $VZ CEO
You would be assuming that Elon gets his mobile network up and the others won't have multiple satellite options in place by that time. I won't assume that.
Today, I can upload 4k video over multiple mobile networks. These networks have big reach & capacity; multiple low band channels, multiple midband channels. Some mmwave massive bw channels. High capacity fiber & sites are close. $50-$60 avg cost. Leave that for what purpose?
SpaceX is setting up @Starlink Mobile to become a true powerhouse in the U.S. wireless market.
You’ll be able to have a Starlink plan the same way you’d have a T-Mobile or Verizon plan. The difference is that Starlink aims to deliver 5G connectivity directly to unmodified phones with no dead zones. Connectivity will work inside buildings as well.
New devices will include the chipsets required for Starlink Mobile’s full 5G service starting in 2027.
The big three (T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T), are downplaying the fact that many of their customers would make the switch in a heart beat.
Stankey is a wireline guy. Nothing wrong with that, it just drives his thinking. The company moves with his philosophy.
Network slicing is a feature for the operator not the customer. Customers need qos. Telco continues to try to sell things in ways Customers dont want to buy it.
Customer: i need two pieces.
Operator: we sell by the dozen.
This was always the way. Hopes and dreams are fun, then physics happens. You don't have to believe in gravity, gravity believes in you haha
It will take many years and many billions. More impact than the zealots realize.
Oh the irony...i remember the interference concerns when the tables were turned. Of course, T-Mobile could never do wrong. Poor innocent T-Mobile, the little guy struggling to fight the big guys. Nobody every made any slides to fight them though HAHAHA
T-Mobile comes out against satellite D2D in the 2496-2690 MHz band. Argues downlink interference from satellites could cause a cell site to lose up to 96% of its uplink coverage area and reduce uplink speeds for affected customers by 88% to 99%.

This has nothing to do with speed or apps or anything you stated. Nationwide, wireless seekers are not choosing att. Their standalone wireless is unattractive. Non att fiber markets is full of loss. Cable, T-Mobile & Verizon are taking outsized share in 2/3 of the country space.
AT&T wants a fiber customer that will also take wireless service. They really aren't fighting for the rest of you out there. Take it or leave it. It shows in the numbers.
AT&T combined consumer, business & firstnet all in...totals less than 390k net. 👀

AT&T has a network guarantee…and they are losing customers. This isn’t about T-Mobile being better. This is about customers choosing other options at scale. The conversation isn’t anecdotal, their operating metrics are telling the real story.
AT&T is losing where they do not have fiber. This means 2/3 of the country. You really think that wireless network is that good? What do you think the adoption rate of their elite plan is? It's a $100+ plan.
AT&T mobility plans are stale & their network is uninspiring. Outage guarantees aren't moving the needle whatsoever. It's just a silly business expense.
Consumer Home broadband shines at AT&T. The business segment is weak, they won't even discuss it.

Generators…you know. This little thing called power. But yeah, AI.
Hurricane Isaias tested our network. AI helped it adapt in real time.
Good piece on how connectivity technology is changing disaster response 👇bit.ly/3UePGcG
