FRANKFURT, March 2 : Deutsche Telekom said on Monday it was partnering with Elon Musk's Starlink to offer satellite-based direct connectivity in areas with poor mobile reception in Europe.
"In partnership with Starlink, Deutsche Telekom will bring mobile communications to areas where network expansion is particularly challenging, for example due to nature conservation requirements or demanding topography," the company said in a statement.
