SpaceX has officially rebranded its "Direct to Cell" phone-to-satellite service as "Starlink Mobile".
Starlink Mobile currently serves ~ 16M users. Company plans to build Gen 2 of its satellite constellation beginning in mid-2027 and suggests it will scale out the constellation over time, potentially to 15,000 satellites.
Empahsis = Starlink Mobile is not a replacement for existing cell services, it is "complementary to terrestrial networks".
We will see how long that positioning lasts!
