NASA has granted Nokia $14.1 million to build the first-ever 4G mobile network on the moon.
(After they've done that, perhaps they could fill in the coverage gaps in Wiltshire...)

Wouldn't that make it the first generation of lunar mobile network? Like James the 6th becoming James the 1st in another territory?

How many subscribers do they anticipate?

I daresay Huawei will have already bagged it (bugged it) by the time it gets there. ;)

I wonder which Mobile Country Code (MCC) they will use ? Probably the US one...
