This is very intriguing for outdoorsman. It seems like either Apple or starlink will make
This a more seamless way to use without additional hardware. The big question is will they flip this into a totally new cost. I know Apple iPhone satellite Messi free for now… I have yet to be in a situation to use it but it’s nice to know it’s available.

As someone who works in the communications field, this will never happen. Law of Physics. There is/will always be a need a terrestrial layer. The frequency spectrum utilized by satellites do not penetrate buildings well. Nothing (currently) can replace a tower in the neighborhood.
