A new FCC filing for a future Starship flight (possibly IFT-3) suggests Starlink communication even through Starship entry.
The filing also points out that during this particular Starship flight, after apogee it will conduct a powered landing in the Indian Ocean
Filing
"SpaceX intends to demonstrate high-data-rate communications with the Starship spacecraft and the Super Heavy booster on the ground at the launch site in Starbase, TX, during launch, in-flight operations, booster recovery, and spacecraft entry."
The filing also points out that during this particular Starship flight, after apogee it will conduct a powered landing in the Indian Ocean
"The orbital Starship spacecraft will continue on its path to an altitude of approximately 235 km before performing a powered, targeted landing in the Indian Ocean"

The LR11000 crane is now in now laid down ahead of launch. Work on the FTS continues, and a restack will follow.
Currently, there is no official public confirmation of a launch license at this stage, but SpaceX is fully acting like they've at least got a nod and a wink from FAA officials.

Reuters documented at least 600 previously unreported workplace injuries at Musk’s rocket company: crushed limbs, amputations, electrocutions, head and eye wounds and one death.
After years of failing to report annual injury-and-illness statistics to regulators, some SpaceX sites started filing the data in 2021 or 2022. The data for 2022, which are more complete, reveal injury rates at three major SpaceX industrial facilities that far exceeded the space-industry average.

We firmly believe that the pursuit of space exploration should not compromise the safety and well-being of those who work tirelessly to make it a reality.
We chose to share this to highlight the importance of worker safety and the need for accountability. SpaceX, a leader in this frontier, should set the highest standards in safeguarding its team.
