Kyivstar PJSC, Ukraine’s largest mobile operator, signed a deal with Elon Musk’s Starlink to introduce satellite-powered cellular service in the war-torn country in a bid to place telecom infrastructure beyond the reach of Russian attacks.

Elon Musk said Wednesday that SpaceX would donate free Starlink terminals to provide internet access to areas in Los Angeles hit by huge wildfires.

T-Mobile has opened up emergency texting over SpaceX's Starlink satellite network for areas affected by Southern California's fires.

The direct-to-cell Starlink system in Southern California will deliver wireless emergency alerts and power SMS texting to 911 services.

"SpaceX will provide free Starlink terminals to affected areas in LA tomorrow morning," Musk posted on social media.

As fires rage in California, Musk announced that SpaceX will supply free Starlink terminals to impacted areas in Los Angeles.

SpaceX will donate free Starlink dishes to victims of the wildfires that have ravaged Los Angeles. "SpaceX will provide free Starlink terminals to affected areas in LA tomorrow morning," CEO Elon Musk tweeted late last night.

While parts of LA remain without power, some TV news crews are using Starlink terminals to help broadcast. Neighbors are demanding action after four deaths in the same South Kansas City shopping center within three months.
