Canada just unlocked a game-changer in mobile connectivity. Starlink's Direct to Cell service officially launched through Rogers, making it the first—and so far, only—provider in the country to offer true satellite-to-mobile coverage.
What does this mean? Voice calls, video streaming, and data access from literally anywhere. No cell towers needed. Whether you're deep in the Rockies or sailing off the coast, your phone stays connected.
Rogers Satellite is now live, and it's setting a new standard for what mobile networks can actually deliver. This isn't just a tech flex—it's infrastructure that rewrites the rules for remote communication.

Wow, Rogers, this move is really incredible. Connecting Starlink directly to the phone signal... Mountain area users can finally have their moment.

Wow, Rogers really nailed it this time. Remote areas finally don't have to rely on luck to get connected.

Starlink's move is really aggressive, skipping the base stations and going straight to satellite connection... But will Rogers raise prices again? That's what I care about most.

Honestly, Starlink's move is quite aggressive, but I'm more concerned about privacy issues... What does direct satellite connection mean? Who has access to the data?

Monitored the deployment time... Rogers' move is interesting. Worth noting is the underlying link design. From the code logic, the bottleneck for satellite direct-to-phone connection is not space-based but the ground handshake protocol. My observation is that the coverage data for this scheme will be overestimated in the short term.
