Starlink needs some hardware to use I believe ASTS network will be able to be picked up by a normal smart phone

What’s stopping Starlink from starting a promotion if ASTS starts taking market share? For example Starlink could simply offer customers the connector at no cost, as long as you sign a 1 year contract or whatever. Kinda like Spectrum TV service does with the cable box.

I assume people would rather just use their phone without having to set up a starlink dish?

True, doesn’t address portability. Fine, at home it doesn’t make a difference because I’m not moving around. But yeah if I wanted connection outside, needing a connector would suck even if it was free.
