My Riff on the 5G Call Via Satellite
One Small Call for a Smartphone, One Giant Leap for Smartphone Kind!
Who would’ve thought our beloved hand-held devices would one day make calls from the “Twilight Zone”? Hats off to AT&T and AST SpaceMobile for pulling off this technical moon-ling… I mean moon-walking feat! This wasn’t just a transcontinental call, it was a transplanetary call, or at least space-adjacent. So, next time you’re chillaxing on your regular Sunday picnic, just remember, your calls can now literally reach for the stars. As for the aliens … well, I hope they’re prepared for the impending tide of inevitable rogue butt-dials. This is a big step in our relentless quest to make “Can you hear me now?” obsolete. Globe-spanning 5G connectivity? Check. In space? Double-check. On everyday smartphones? Hat-trick check! If this doesn’t say “the future is here and it doesn’t have time for silly things like terrestrial limits”, then I don’t know what does. Right, all we need now is decent 5G on the subway…
