Elon Musk's SpaceX and T-Mobile teamed up on August 25 to try to connect mobile devices to a network of satellites in order to improve connection even in small towns and villages.
To use the satellite network, powerful gear will be needed. Additionally, this comes at a premium price.

However, there will be certain restrictions on the satellite communication capability. For instance, it can take a minute or two for the signal to be sent from it.
