Original: SpaceX Starlink Mobile’s Biggest Hurdle? Deutsche Telekom CEO Says Elon Musk Must Match T-Mobile's 85,000 Antennas

Deutsche Telekom's chief executive has said Elon Musk's SpaceX would need to match T-Mobile's network of roughly 85,000 antennas if Starlink's direct-to-mobile service is to become a serious rival. The remarks frame terrestrial coverage as the biggest obstacle for SpaceX's satellite-based mobile ambitions, underlining the competitive tension between the two companies, which are also partners on Starlink's T-Mobile partnership in the US.

Why now: Growing competition and partnership friction between satellite-based and terrestrial mobile networks has put Starlink's direct-to-phone plans in the spotlight.
