These carriers are working to end dead zones in America
On Thursday, Verizon published a press release featuring a pretty significant announcement: The big three cellular networks (AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon) are pooling their resources to try to end dead zones in America. The idea is to expand satellite communications across all three networks to directly address coverage gaps across the country, especially in "unserved and underserved communities." That's particularly important for remote areas of the States where there is little to no traditional cell service.
Satellite communications are all the rage right now. Cellular networks, as well as smartphone manufacturers, have been rolling out expanded support in recent years. Apple, for example, now lets iPhone users text their contacts over satellite when they have no cell service, while T-Mobile offers similar services for its customers via Starlink. Of course, satellite service isn't necessarily the same as cellular service: Because the signal needs to travel all the way up to a satellite orbiting the Earth, it takes a lot longer than your standard cell signal. As such, I'm not sure that somebody tapping into satellite coverage in a rural area of the U.S. is going to have as reliable an experience as another user connecting through 4G or 5G networks.
Still, satellite communications have literally saved lives in situations where cell service was not available. If the networks want to band together to create a dedicated network of satellite communications, I'm certainly not opposed.
