Starlink vs the Big 3: Why Satellite-to-Phone Could Pressure Carriers (Even If It Can’t Replace Towers Yet)
An opinion piece argues the Big 3 (T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon) dominate wireless—even MVNOs rely on their networks—and says Starlink is the best candidate to shake things up. The author imagines a true satellite-based carrier, but notes direct-to-device (D2D) still can’t replace cell towers due to physics and indoor signal limits. For now, satellite-to-phone fits texts, emergencies, and occasional data—yet it may still pressure carriers to compete harder.
