00:00Your phone just charged you $500 for using Instagram abroad.

00:06Here is the insane reason why.

00:09Cell towers use exclusive frequency lanes that cost billions to license.

00:16Different countries use different frequencies.

00:19So your phone literally can't connect.

00:23Carriers rent foreign lanes and mark them up a thousand percent.

00:28Europe fixed this in 2017, but globally, it's a mess because there's no worldwide phone authority.

00:39Enter satellites.

00:40Starlink just launched direct-to-phone service with over 400 satellites.

00:46No towers, no roaming fees, just space internet connecting directly to your phone.

00:52The future, AST, Space Mobile, and others are racing to compete.

00:59Soon, your phone will work anywhere with a clear sky review.

01:04The phone monopoly is about to end.

01:08Follow for more tech breakdowns.
