The emphasis added in this post seems to speak to the limitation of the technology, because initial support will be for SMS and MMS. Then later on it will support voice and general data which require more bandwith.

Second, I'm surprised T-Mobile is willing to announce a deal with Elon Musk, given he reneged on the last couple of big deals he's announced
