Original: AT&T CEO says Elon Musk's SpaceX phone strategy not "viable"
AT&T's chief executive said Elon Musk's SpaceX strategy of offering phone service directly via satellites is not "viable," sharpening a dispute over the future of mobile connectivity from space. The comments put the largest US carriers at odds with SpaceX's Starlink, which has been expanding direct-to-cell partnerships and testing satellite phone service.
Why now: The head of a major US carrier openly attacking Elon Musk's satellite phone plans is a notable clash in the race for space-based mobile service.
