Sounds like it would be a good idea for Starlink to have multiple satellites then.

  Unfortunately they’re all pretty similar distances away from you, so that doesn’t help here. Having more than one satellite above the horizon really only works when both antennas are (highly) directional. Cell phones aren’t.

    Ah thank you. I’m assuming the product offering will be aimed at less frequent but more high value use cases such as remote navigation or sporadic messaging and infrequent short calls. Similar to other current satellite offerings for mobile devices, but hopefully enlarging the envelope of utility at least marginally.
