According to a new statement from Elon Musk, the company SpaceX has developed a new Starlink system that allows mobile phones to connect directly to satellite internet without the need for additional equipment or specific applications. Elon Musk stated in a post on his social media platform X, which he owns, that 'the new Starlink system enables your mobile phone to connect to the internet without additional equipment or special applications.' He emphasized that this system works effortlessly. This technology could create a significant transformation in internet access, especially in remote and underserved areas. Previously, using Starlink internet services required specialized devices such as satellite antennas, but according to Elon Musk's statement, users can now connect to this high-speed internet using only their mobile phones. Starlink is one of SpaceX's main projects aimed at providing global access to high-speed internet, and this new capability could have a considerable impact on users' lives worldwide. This announcement could bring new hope to people in Iran, where access to free internet has been restricted by the Islamic Republic, and it may also pose a new challenge for the religious government in Iran.
