The classic Brazilian telenovela Roque Santeiro, by Dias Gomes, is back in the spotlight as Globo airs the rerun, with outlets summarizing chapters in which Sinhozinho Malta grows jealous of the Widow Porcina and threatens Roberto, while Porcina's henchmen kidnap Roberto. Coverage also recalls the show's two different endings, typical country dishes featured in the story, and a reported record-low audience rating that has worried the network.

SpaceX's reported move to acquire the prepaid carrier Boost Mobile, owned by EchoStar's Dish, would give Elon Musk's company spectrum and a wireless subscriber base. But analysts argue that owning Boost will not by itself unlock meaningful wireless capabilities for Musk, since regulatory approvals, network capacity and spectrum limits mean Starlink's direct-to-cell ambitions still face major constraints.

SpaceX is reportedly exploring either acquiring Boost Mobile from Dish Network or striking a deal to use its wireless network, according to a report picked up by multiple Fox stations. Such a move would give Elon Musk's company direct access to spectrum and subscribers, complementing its Starlink direct-to-cell ambitions. No deal has been confirmed, and details about the talks remain limited.

SpaceX is pushing further into the wireless business, raising questions about whether its planned direct-to-cell satellite service fits with Boost Mobile, the Dish-owned carrier. Barron's reports that Boost may not be the right partner for SpaceX's ambitions to become a full wireless carrier, as analysts weigh how the company's satellite network could shake up the US mobile market and challenge traditional carriers.

SpaceX is reportedly in negotiations to acquire Boost Mobile, the prepaid wireless brand owned by Dish's EchoStar, as part of a push into the consumer wireless market. If confirmed, the deal would give Elon Musk's company a direct mobile retail footprint, potentially tying service to its Starlink satellite network.
