The Next Connectivity Disruption: Starlink is Going Mobile

from Buffering · host Zack Kilgore and Gabe Petersen

This week on Buffering, Zack and Gabe take a deep dive into Starlink's latest moves and what they could mean for Communication Service Providers (CSPs). With Starlink reaching 12 million subscribers, expanding beyond broadband, and making its ambitions in mobile increasingly clear, the competition is no longer limited to rural and unserved markets. Zack and Gabe explore why Starlink is becoming a broader connectivity threat, why technical superiority does not guarantee market immunity, and how its growing ecosystem could change the way customers think about connectivity.Join Zack and Gabe as they break down Starlink's strategy, the potential impact of Starlink Mobile, and Amazon Leo's emerging threat to both satellite and fiber providers. They also discuss what CSPs can do now, from making pricing transparent and simplifying the purchase experience to embracing self install and focusing on the customer experience rather than relying on technical specifications alone.
