Being out there,
it's the most beautiful place to me.
I get to feel that it's me and the world.
When you're upriver
and that light is glistening, it's really magical.
I like the openness of everything.
It's the first time I'd really heard, like, actual quiet.
When there's no traffic around,
and I see the sun come up in the morning,
there's nothing better.
You fall in love with it.
It's raw here. It's untouched.
It's an endless frontier.
We have the freedom to go wherever we want.
Yeah. Being out there is everything.
People always ask me, am I afraid?
Do I get scared, when I'm sailing.
And the answer is yes.
When things go wrong at sea, they go wrong really fast.
There's nothing more terrifying than not being
able to communicate.
I like to go as far away as I can.
I am able to go hundreds of miles in a day, in a weekend.
I feel guilty
because I don't want to cause anxiety for anybody.
And if I go out where there's no reception,
I may as well be on the moon.
The Everglades are 3.8 million acres
and there's a lot of the area we run in that
I don't have signal.
It's not good to be stuck out for several hours
until someone can get to you.
It puts everybody in a high stress
situation.
When you're out far enough from being able
to get help quickly,
it crosses your mind
a little more
where you're not going to have a cell signal
for the entire day.
When I'm out in nature with my kids, I worry a lot.
Like a mama bear would.
Driving up a canyon after driving all night
can be very stressful, trying to get information,
directions and all of a sudden you lose service.
It's not good.
Raising bison is a very dangerous job.
You have the animals themselves.
Even just twisting an ankle
somewhere out in the wilderness can be the end of you.
If Jon's injured out there,
my biggest concern is, how to get a hold of somebody.
You know, because we don't have cell reception.
You know, to fly for hours and hours, not see a road,
not see a house.
Communications can be a matter of life or death.
We have very good communication air to air.
But when we land, then we don't have communication anymore.
When those communications break down,
there's a bit of anxiety.
If you don't hear from me by 3:00,
then you need to start the process of looking for me.
If I had the ability to pick up my cell phone
any time and be able to communicate back home with my wife,
it would be just a life changing experience
because then I don't have to worry.
Having service anytime, anywhere would be priceless,
just for the ability to keep in touch with family.
It would be wonderful.
My wife could sleep a lot better.
She'd be very relieved.
It would take a lot of stress off of us as captains
and as an owner of a business.
That would be a feeling that, you know, everything's okay.
It would be amazing.
It would be a game changer.
It would mean the world to the people I love,
for us to maintain contact,
and something as simple
as being able to tell them, I'm okay.

One. Go for launch.
At T-Mobile, we think about coverage differently.
We see our job as keeping you connected.
We believe your phone should just work everywhere you go.
SpaceX with Starlink technology and T-Mobile share
a vision where uncovered areas are a thing of the past.
For the first time ever,
we will have connectivity regardless of where we are.
We're looking beyond the limitations of current
cellular technology
and leveraging Starlink, SpaceX's network of satellites,
to take coverage where it has never gone before.
The service that we're going to bring to the world
will allow your phone
in your pocket to connect directly to space.
This will provide connectivity
and peace of mind to everyone when they need it the most.
We're able to leverage T-Mobile's spectrum
and bring to the table
a lot of expertise on the rocket side
and on the satellite side,
and you don't need to buy anything new.
The technology that you need to connect to
this service is in your pocket
and the service that you need is just T-Mobile.
SpaceX is an industry leader in satellite
communications, and T-Mobile is America's 5G leader.
We both believe in innovation.
We believe in progress.
And we believe in doing cutting edge things
that is a bit more risky.
Together, we're working to build a truly connected future
for all.
Bringing this service to the world
is really going to change the trajectory of communications.
It's been an exciting ride over the past few months,
breaking new ground with SpaceX.
We've got huge aspirations
for this partnership and this technology.
I think in this case, the sky isn't the limit.
We're just beginning
to scratch the surface of what's possible.
