SpaceX Aims to Turn Starlink Into a Full Mobile Network

SpaceX plans to turn Starlink into a true mobile service by building out terrestrial infrastructure using 65 MHz of EchoStar spectrum and a dense network of base stations, with the goal of drawing customers away from Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile. A key hurdle is securing an MVNO agreement with a major carrier; SpaceX also expects next-generation Starlink Mobile satellites in 2027 and a significantly upgraded service by year-end 2027, and it already has a T-Mobile satellite connectivity partnership in place.

SpaceX eyes direct Starlink mobile service to disrupt US carriers

SpaceX reportedly told investors it plans to launch a Starlink mobile service for US consumers and potentially build its own terrestrial network, allowing direct sales to customers and reducing reliance on carriers like Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile. The move would tap a large, lucrative US mobile market and increase per-user revenue, but faces challenges since Starlink’s current direct-to-cell service is supplementary and not a full replacement for a traditional network. Details such as price or launch date are not announced; the information comes from Financial Times sources citing an IPO roadshow.
