Deutsche Telekom executive warns carriers aiding SpaceX face backlash
Original: Carrier heavyweight warns that helping SpaceX could come back to bite the big three SpaceX's spectrum deal isn't enough
A senior Deutsche Telekom executive, whose company owns T-Mobile, has cautioned that US carriers cooperating with SpaceX on satellite connectivity could ultimately undermine the big three providers. The executive argued that SpaceX's spectrum deal with T-Mobile is not sufficient to secure its broader ambitions, suggesting SpaceX's growing US telecom involvement could eventually compete directly with the carriers now helping it.
Why now: SpaceX's push into direct-to-cell satellite service is seen as a growing threat to traditional US mobile carriers.
