The race to provide high-speed internet from satellites is well
underway - but another, more ambitious competition, to connect
directly from space to devices like smartphones, began in earnest
earlier this year.

The potential untapped market -- which hinges on, but extends beyond,
sending a text via space -- is spurring a tale of two strategies: Those
putting specialized antennae in phones, versus those putting
high-powered antennae on the satellites themselves. For some
companies, it means billions spent on what could end up being a losing
approach.
