We already have many more existing satellite-to-mobile providers:

- Iridium (partnership with Qualcomm)

- Globalstar (my bet is that Apple will buy them before too long)

- Skylo (using leased transponders on various existing GEO MSATs for 5G NTN; used by e.g. Bullit/“Motorola”)

- Inmarsat (pretty clunky phones for now, but they own a lot of L-band spectrum and are apparently one of Skylo’s partners for 5G NTN)

- Thuraya (regional only)
