Looking for something fun to do Saturday? Californians could catch a Starlink satellite launch from the Vandenberg Space Force Base.

Elon Musk's SpaceX-backed Starlink is gearing up to launch satellite-based internet in India, and telecom players like Jio and Airtel may need to rethink their broadband strategies.

T-Mobile T-Satellite service is now out of beta testing and is available to all US smartphone users, including AT&T and Verizon customers.

China’s biggest networks have deployed less than 1 percent of their planned satellites, falling far behind SpaceX for dominance in space communications.

SpaceX has revealed plans to launch its advanced third-generation Starlink satellites in early 2026, aiming to significantly enhance its global satellite internet network.

The Guowang constellation, also known as Xingwang, is the Chinese central government’s official response to Starlink. Administered by China SatNet under the state-owned aerospace conglomerate CASIC, the project envisions a network of over 13,000 satellites providing secure, high-speed internet for civilian and military use.

Satellite texting will be available immediately, while data access through third-party apps like X and WhatsApp is coming in October.
