Verizon suffers worst day since 2002 on SpaceX network plans
Original: Verizon posts worst day since 2002 as SpaceX U.S. network plans whack cell provider stocks
Verizon shares recorded their steepest single-day decline since 2002 as investors reacted to SpaceX's plans to build a direct-to-cell network across the United States. The announcement dragged down other mobile carrier stocks as well, with markets pricing in the threat that satellite-based connectivity could erode the traditional telecom business model. Analysts are weighing how quickly SpaceX's satellite service could become a competitive alternative to ground-based networks.
Why now: SpaceX's plans for a U.S. direct-to-cell satellite network spooked investors in traditional mobile carriers, triggering a sharp selloff.
