It looks like I may not be buying Samsung galaxy s24 Ultra saying it will not have satellite connectivity this is one thing I was looking forward to at this stage there is no commitment or any news of it very disappointing

Why is the use case for satellite connectivity and how does it will benefit you?

Generally speaking and not having the precise statistics, 98.8% of Australians have coverage with Telstra providing the widest coverage. HOWEVER, the land mass coverage is around 27%. So the rural population has, effectively, no coverage. Nor do caravanners or other travellers or emergency services. Even on the Hume Highway there are large areas berween towns with absolutely no coverage. The same for the Kings Highway between Canberra and Batemans Bay. There are many users, only 10 kms from major cities who have no coverage. School buses travel through major areas with no coverage so if there is a major accident, tough luck.

More and more farming is undertaken using interactive software in those areas where internet access is available. There are a number of government reports. Amusingly there was a huge response to a recent Commonwealth inquiry. Amusing because many rural users complained because they couldn't make submissions due to poor or no internet access.
