ELON MUSK MULLS MAKING STARLINK A 'GLOBAL CARRIER' AFTER ECHOSTAR DEAL

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Elon Musk said during a podcast on Tuesday night that Starlink could become a mobile carrier. SpaceX recently reached a $17 billion deal to buy radio spectrum from EchoStar, BoostMobile's parent company. The deal will give SpaceX access to several 1.9GHz and 2GHz bands in the US. Some hardware changes may be required as these frequencies are not supported in current phones.
