To clarify the headline a bit, the connectivity is for "T-Mobile customers in Florida who may lose cellular service due to Hurricane Milton", not connectivity for the hurricane itself, which I assume is doing just fine.
Also be aware that these satellites can broadcast wireless emergency alerts, which will go to all customers, regardless of carrier. I posted more about it on !t_mobile@lemmy.ml
It mentions it in the article but what you bring up is primarily for those who want to sign up for Starlink service where this article is talking about the mobile portion of this which is actually free (for now).
So it’s relevant & related?
