Planet-wide communication is handled much the way it is now, with dedicated networks of satellites, ground stations, trunked networks, and so on. United Telephone is an example of a wireless provider with networks on nearly every populated world. | Planet-wide communication is handled much the way it is now, with dedicated networks of satellites, ground stations, trunked networks, and so on.
