You and I believe in SpaceX’s Starlink Mobile even if T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon are dismissive
Executives at T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon remain dismissive of SpaceX's Starlink Mobile, but the people are hopeful that it will revolutionize the industry.
SpaceX has been making waves in the wireless industry with its ambitions to become the fourth major carrier across the United States. And though executives at T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon remain dismissive, actual American customers are hopeful that Starlink Mobile will revolutionize the market.

In a recent poll, we asked you how big of a threat SpaceX’s Starlink Mobile would be to the “Big Three” of the U.S. A little over 55 percent of you said that Starlink Mobile has the potential to revive competition in the industry, forcing T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon to lower prices and offer more competitive plans and perks.
If Starlink Mobile delivers what SpaceX has envisioned, this could very well come to pass. Starlink Mobile is being planned to be this next great step in wireless coverage, combining both satellite and terrestrial networks. But the company will also need to make its offerings reliable and cost-effective if it wants to secure any long-time customers.
Speaking of which, almost 30 percent of you said that Starlink Mobile will end the monopoly of the Big Three. That is also very possible, given that SpaceX is actually able to deliver on its ambitions.

Lastly, a little less than 15 percent of voters feel that Starlink Mobile will never be comparable to terrestrial providers like T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon. What about you?

Executives at the Big Three, as well as some experts in the field, have claimed that SpaceX and Starlink Mobile pose no real threat to T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon. Arguments range from the costs of operating a carrier to the advantages of terrestrial coverage across the country.
It’s worth pointing out that SpaceX is working on combing both satellite and terrestrial coverage. Also, I do think that Starlink Mobile has a very good chance of becoming the fourth major carrier stateside.
Alongside ambition, there is a lot of money behind Starlink Mobile. Enough, in my opinion, to upend the wireless industry on its head in a matter of years.
