TL;DR

The FCC has proposed a new regulatory framework to help satellite operators and wireless companies collaborate to provide hybrid services to smartphone users in remote, unserved, and underserved areas. The proposal seeks public comment on a plan to regulate these collaborations and provide more access to spectrum needed to deliver the hybrid services. Starlink operator SpaceX and T-Mobile plan to start testing the satellite-to-cell service sometime this year, with text messaging expected to be the first supported service, followed by voice and Internet coverage.
