The FCC has granted SpaceX permission to go forward with plans to offer a direct-to-phone version of its Starlink satellite internet service.

The proposal dates to summer 2022 , when SpaceX and T-Mobile first announced they were pursuing the ability for the mobile provider’s customers to get Starlink access on their phones.

There are a few limitations on how this type of service (which the FCC calls “supplemental coverage from space) can work).
