tl:dw SpaceX is buying spectrum from Echostar for their direct to cell, SpaceX has completed the 600+ Direct-to-Cell satellite constellation in June which I guess work as the connection points for cellphones, but their data is transmitted with the help of the whole 8000 satellite starlink constellation using laserlinks

the next generation d2c satellites will enable 20x more bandwidth for cellphones and the overall system will have 100x the capacity and will be comparable to current 5G LTE service
