On: FCC unlocks spectrum to support advanced satellite...

They can already send texts over satellite so probably pretty feasible. Idk though

It's much harder at higher frequencies because you need to point your antenna more accurately. That's pretty hard to do by hand on a phone.

Alternatively, the aperture of the antenna on the satellite can be increased. So high-gain from space, but low gain on Earth, which is the approach of AST SpaceMobile.

How is that not one way communication?
