This is just an incredibly confused comment. 5g simply does not allow for transmission distances of 200+km. Period.

They might make some kind of addition to the 5g standard or something. Because yes, indeed, there are such things as satellite phones and satellite internet.

Please consider being more technical here and instead of just believing a random website or parroting one of Elon's audacious claims (of which its hopefully become painfully clear that none can be taken as truth on face value).

I’m, no. They can get the signal. I’ve spoken with them and the issues they have is more about red shift type effects of the satellites not being geosynchronous, and not being able to alter the phones designs but meet what’s on the market.
