I found this line in the article very interesting: The larger 2nd generation SpaceX satellites can connect to the majority of T-Mobile’s 4G and 5G phones over its 1900 MHz spectrum. 

It is exciting a subscriber does not need to buy a new phone. 
What is the expected impact to the phone’s battery life?
Any speculations?
