Following the footsteps of Apple and Rogers, Bell Mobility announced plans to launch a satellite cell network for its customers next year.
Bell hopes to launch a test version of the service, and then soon deploy a paid service. Unlike Rogerswho uses Starlink satellites, or AppleWhich uses Globestar, Bell offers its service from Texas Ast SpaceBile Inc. All three are used by satellites with a low earth's orbit.
Nevertheless, although Bell announced this partnership and successfully checked the service, he is still waiting for SpaceBile to launch more satellites to complete his constellation compared to Canada. Bell already owns a spectrum necessary for life with this service, but he needs to approve the regulatory organs in order to transfer it from a standard cell to satellite compatibility.

In the pressBell says that he specifically uses the section of the spectrum with the lower strip, since it provides a stronger connection, but this still has to be seen. All messages will also use Canadian bell stations, so all the data collected from this effort will remain in Canada.
Kiker will be at a price whenever it is declared. Rogers will cost $ 15 a monthTherefore, I suspect that Bell will do the same. What will be more interesting to see if Apple or Starlink can undermine carriers with their own services. Right now, Apple services are free for two years with each new IPhone purchase, and Starlink has not yet launched consumer offers for a network with a direct cage.
It will also be interesting to see if Rogers will expand their network from a simple text message to callsStreaming of video and other services by the time Bell starts next year.
Although I want to believe that both technical companies will try to undermine carriers, I’m not sure that this will happen, since both will be one way or another. Rogers and Starlink have a deal for satellites of a technological company that will be used by the Canadian carrier, so the anger of this business partner would be strange for Starlink. In the same way, Apple sells a lot of iPhone through carriers, therefore, although I think that his branding is powerful enough to overcome the battle, I am not sure if he considers a persistent struggle. Therefore, I expect that both of them will be evaluated similarly to what Rogers offers. Ideally, it will be easier to pick up one of these plans, when necessary, since you will not need to interact with the carrier.
