T-Mobile will partner with Elon Musk’s SpaceX and use the company’s Starlink satellites to provide cellphone users with network access in parts of the United States, including where mobile coverage doesn’t currently exist, the companies announced on Thursday.

The “Coverage Above and Beyond” partnership is a “breakthrough new plan to bring cellphone connectivity everywhere,” according to a joint press release.
