SpaceX says Starlink will "become a major mobile carrier in the U.S."

SpaceX has acquired radio airwave licenses to enable its Starlink satellite business to provide cellphone service throughout the U.S. The company aims for Starlink to become a major mobile carrier. By utilizing low-band frequencies, the service can reach devices inside buildings, while 2 GHz orbiters are expected to extend coverage beyond traditional cell towers. These strategic spectrum acquisitions are key steps in establishing Starlink Mobile as a significant competitor in the American cellular market.
