SpaceX to Buy Low-Band Spectrum for Phone Service

Original: SpaceX to Acquire Low-Band Spectrum for Mobile Phone Service

SpaceX plans to acquire low-band spectrum to expand its direct-to-mobile phone service, according to a Bloomberg report. Low-band frequencies travel farther and penetrate buildings better, making them valuable for delivering coverage to standard phones from satellites. The move would deepen SpaceX's push into telecommunications alongside its Starlink direct-to-cell offering and put it in more direct competition with established mobile carriers and spectrum holders.

Why now: Acquiring spectrum would significantly expand SpaceX's ambitions to provide mobile phone service from space, challenging traditional carriers.
