> Musk said the service will work with Starlink’s second generation satellites, which have very large antennae and will be able to transmit directly to a cell or mobile phone. This has far greater implications than dead zones, yacht's (or) Oil rigs; 'Telecommunication during natural disasters'! With increasing number of extreme weather events, Our conventional telecommunication systems(especially base stations) cannot stand a chance against natural(man made?) disasters. Yet, Apart from few nerd group projects like disaster.radio I see no real work in building disaster resilient telecommunication network. P.S. If you live in India, Especially in south-western India and are interested in https://disaster.radio https://disaster.radio project for your region then give me a ping. I've been trying to get it started for ages.
