Idk, does it mean they're behind? Starlink isn't using their satellites for 5g cell coverage are they?

Starlink just hit 7k sats in orbit..they have been launching ones with cell capability since Jan. TMo is already in beta testing...there 31st launch this year makes so they have 207 sats with cell capabilities. ATT and VzW combined have 3 or 4.

If anyone hasn't taken the time to watch a Falcon9 launch you should...its like something out of Starwars..it takes off launches sats and lands back on the pad in like 20mins...
