'You can't break the fundamental laws of physics': T-Mobile CFO says he's not worried about Elon Musk's cellular ambitions
T-Mobile CFO Peter Osvaldik said "everybody in the know" is "laughing at" Starlink's plans to use lots of small cell stations in cities.
Elon Musk's SpaceX aims to enter the cellular market, but T-Mobile CFO Peter Osvaldik is unconcerned. Osvaldik stated that Starlink, SpaceX's satellite internet service, faces challenges in urban areas due to the limitations of satellites. SpaceX intends to use small cell stations, called femtocells, to complement Starlink's satellite network, but Osvaldik dismissed this as "laughable" as it would require an impractical number of femtocells to match the coverage of existing cell towers. The top three telecommunications companies generate approximately $600 billion in annual revenue.
