SpaceX will have to go it alone with Starlink Mobile, as the big three carriers have all turned down the idea of making it an MVNO.

Four operators – Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Telefónica, and Vodafone – have signed a letter of intent stating that they are discussing the possibility of submitting a joint application for frequencies that would enable them to compete with SpaceX’s Starlink satellite network in the direct-to-device services segment in Europe. According to the Financial Times, the telecommunications companies would be responsible […] Post Europe Wants to Create a Starlink Alternative: Four Operators Join Forces at Root-Nation.com.

A major Telstra network outage earlier this week disrupted not only telecommunications but also critical infrastructure, including train services in Victoria and New South Wales. The incident highlighted the reliance of modern rail systems on mobile networks for real-time communication between trains and control centres. Trains use roof-mounted antennae to transmit data such as location, speed, and route changes, which are essential for safe operations. When Telstra's network failed, these communications broke down, leading to suspended services by V/Line and delays in train schedules. The outage began around 4:30am, causing chaos during peak commuting hours. Telstra's acting CEO attributed the issue to timing synchronization problems across network nodes, though the exact cause remains under investigation. While satellite systems could serve as a backup, they lack the reliability of terrestrial networks. This incident underscores the vulnerability of critical infrastructure dependent on single telecommunications providers and raises questions about redundancy in such systems.

A major Telstra mobile network outage on 8 July 2026 caused widespread disruptions across Australia, affecting train services in Victoria and New South Wales. The incident highlighted the critical reliance of modern rail systems on telecommunications networks for real-time communication between trains and control centres. Trains use roof-mounted antennae to connect with control hubs, sharing data like location, speed, and safety alerts. When Telstra's network failed, these connections were lost, preventing essential traffic updates and diagnostic data transmission. This led to suspended regional train services, chaotic morning commutes, and limited coach replacements. The outage was attributed to timing issues in network nodes, with no malicious activity detected. Experts warn that while satellite systems can act as backup, they lack the reliability of terrestrial networks. The Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) upgraded its systems to 4G on Telstra's network in 2024, underscoring the vulnerability of critical infrastructure to telecom failures.
