[Starlink] SpaceX/Starlink says it's ready for a fall satellite-to-cell service with T-Mobile

[Sebastian Moeller]

Curious, is that doppler correction applied individually per dishy, or per cell? If the latter do cells extend ahead or behind the satellite's projection onto the globe, or is there one or more beams ahead an another one or more behind?
