Starlink deployment ? Rural coverage vs. what is shown on the map.
Does T-Mobile have any more information on their Starlink plans/future ?
T-Mobile's internal maps are a bit more … truthful on coverage vs. the sales pitch maps that T-Mobile executives claim are 'accurate'. As a result, I'm hopeful that much of the rural areas that T-Mobile claims to have coverage - will at least have outdoor coverage.
This is reassuring, but its been advertised for +2 years now.

I think AT&T and Verizon dropped their complaint once Starlink said it was a 1 year exclusively agreement to Tmobile.
I saw an article in my news feed that the sms was going to be activated this fall but has been pushed back to 2025.

That’s a shame. I did hear that there are a handful of groups attempting to sue Musk/SpaceX for various reasons (i.e. satellites causing RF interference with AT&T/Verizon, RF interfering with radio telescopes/observatories).
Wonder if ‘Clearwire’ is old T-Mobile/Sprint … or Starlink or Spectrum.
