AT&T CEO calls SpaceX direct-to-phone strategy not viable
Original: AT&T CEO says Elon Musk's SpaceX phone strategy not "viable"
AT&T's chief executive publicly dismissed Elon Musk's SpaceX approach to connecting phones directly via satellites, describing the strategy as not "viable". The remarks sharpen a growing rivalry between telecom carriers and satellite operators over who provides mobile coverage from space, with AT&T backing its own satellite partnerships while SpaceX pushes direct-to-cell service through Starlink.
Why now: Rising competition between telecom giants and SpaceX over direct-to-satellite mobile service is making carriers speak out publicly.
