SpaceX has been granted conditional approval by the Federal Communications Commission to enhance T-Mobile US Inc.'s cellular network using its Starlink satellite technology.

This is a significant milestone for SpaceX as it expands its communications capabilities, enabling the company to offer direct coverage to consumer mobile phones.

The approval allows SpaceX to integrate satellite service with traditional mobile networks, creating a hybrid model that aims to reach a wider customer base.

This initiative reflects the increasing trend of utilizing satellite technology to improve connectivity in areas where conventional cellular service may be limited.
