This Monday, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology granted China Mobile a license to provide satellite mobile phone service across the Chinese mainland. Now, alongside China Telecom and China Unicom, it can offer direct-to-cell coverage for emergencies, maritime traffic and remote regions—even where traditional networks can’t reach! 🚀🛰️
Imagine calling for help from a stranded boat or staying connected while trekking in the wilderness—this license makes it possible. The ministry expects a dynamic mix of competition and collaboration, pushing providers to improve services and lower prices for end users.
Beyond expanding coverage, the ministry has pledged to streamline market entry for new satellite players, tighten security oversight, and steer the sector toward high-quality growth. That means faster rollouts, better safeguards, and more options for consumers eager to stay online wherever they roam. 🌐📶
With satellite connectivity on the horizon, your next adventure might come with a full bar—even under the stars. Stay tuned as China Mobile prepares to light up the sky with its new service! 😉✨
