Starlink Completes Direct To Satellite Phone Orbit. Starlink has the first basic bunch of direct to sat satellites in orbit, and they will support texting by the end of 2024, and voice and data in 2025. Ultimately, the system will supplant current cell systems. It uses lasers to transmit data, and the advantages of lasers over traditional radio frequency communications are world changing, enabling data rates up to 100 times faster, increased bandwidth, and improved security. It is anticipated that the new service will be in the $50 a month range for ups toe 50 gigs, and it uses the 4G/LTE bandwidth that current phones already support. You can thank Elon Musk for this leap into technology's future.
