Shotwell added that the upgraded network will support “voice and video calls over Signal and WhatsApp,” and pointed to reliability as a key selling point.
“We will eliminate dead zones, leveraging basically the satellites in orbit. It’ll be better during any sort of natural disaster because, surprisingly, even though space movies make space look super dangerous, it’s a pretty quiescent environment,” he said.
Eyeing the Big Three’s
$600 Billion
On the revenue opportunity, Shotwell sized up the incumbent carriers: “The big three in the United States — AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile — roughly between them,
$600 billion a year. And I anticipate us to be able to acquire quite a few of their customers because I think our service will be better.”
Shotwell said SpaceX will “start to fly the satellites next year” with service launching “end of next year.”
