SpaceX in Talks to Acquire Boost Mobile or Access Its Network for Hybrid Service
SpaceX is in discussions with EchoStar to either acquire Boost Mobile or gain access to its wireless network, which currently leases capacity from AT&T and T-Mobile. The talks aim to help SpaceX combine its Starlink satellite network with terrestrial infrastructure to create a hybrid mobile service competing with major US carriers. The deal could provide SpaceX with an established subscriber base and infrastructure, accelerating its entry into the US wireless market. Both companies have not commented on the negotiations.
