Australia, NZ telecom shares tumble on SpaceX spectrum deal
Original: Australia, NZ telecom shares tumble as SpaceX spectrum deal stokes fears
Telecom stocks in Australia and New Zealand fell after SpaceX struck a deal to access spectrum, fuelling fears among regional carriers that the US space company could compete directly with them in mobile and satellite services. Investors sold off shares in operators seen as most exposed, with the deal raising questions about competition in the region's telecommunications market.
Why now: SpaceX's spectrum deal is seen as a direct competitive threat to established telecom operators, prompting a sharp investor selloff.
