Starlink shut down over Ukraine battlefield
Elon Musk is reported to have turned off the Starlink communications services during a key Ukrainian counteroffensive to win back territory from Russia in September 2022. Reuters, citing three sources, reported Musk told a senior SpaceX engineer to cut coverage in several areas, including Kherson. His decision also impacted other areas seized by Russia, including part of Donetsk province further east. The loss of SpaceX's Starlink satellite services caused a communications blackout for Ukrainian troops near the front lines. The signal loss impacted drones that were surveilling Russian forces and long-range artillery units which relied on the service to direct their fire, according to the news agency. According to a Ukrainian military official and a military advisor, troops were unable to encircle a Russian position in the town of Beryslav, east of Kherson. While Ukraine's armed forces were eventually able to reclaim Beryslav, the city of Kherson and some additional territory Russia had occupied, Reuters reported it was the first known instance of Musk shutting down Starlink over a battlefield. The news agency explained Musk's decision may have been related to his concern Russia would retaliate with nuclear weapons. Source: Mobile World Live Image Credit: Starlink

T-Mobile's U.S satellite service makes a nationwide debut
After six months of beta testing T-Mobile US' direct-to-device (D2D) satellite service provisioned by Starlink birds is making its nationwide debut. The T-Satellite service, which currently supports text messaging and location sharing, is also available to AT&T and Verizon customers with unlocked phones and eSIM cards. The service is available free for subscribers of T-Mobile's Experience Beyond or Go5G Next plans. For those without premium plans, it is being offered for $10 per month for a limited time before increasing to $15 per month. AT&T and Verizon customers can access connectivity for $10 a month. 'The key question is how many people will actually pay,' Tim Farrar, an analyst at TMF Associates, told Mobile World Live. 'Most users will presumably get it for free.' On its Q2 earnings call, T-Mobile CEO Mike Seivert stated 'people have been choosing our higher end rate plans anticipating this launch'. 'This is speculation at this point, but I think it's going to be really a popular catalyst to bring people into that deeper relationship with T-Mobile,' he said of T-Satellite. Starlink's more than 650 birds cover the continental US, Hawaii, parts of southern Alaska and Puerto Rico. The mobile operator is working on offering satellite connectivity abroad and in international waters. T-Mobile's support page states the service currently can send picture on 'most' Android phones. T-Satellite works on more than 60 phones, including iPhone 13 and up, Google Pixel 9 as well as Samsung Galaxy 21 and newer devices. Jon Freier, president of T-Mobile's Consumer Group, stated in a blog nearly two million people tried T-Satellite during the beta, with up to 30,000 daily users. During the recent floods in the US state of Texas, Freier said 93,700 people connected to T-Satellite, sending 287,000 SMS messages. It also delivered 125 wireless emergency alerts.
