Original: SpaceX Nears US Carrier Status With 14MHz Deal [2026]
SpaceX is reportedly moving closer to becoming a US telecom carrier through an agreement involving 14MHz of spectrum. The deal would expand the company's Starlink satellite business from broadband internet into direct-to-device mobile services, putting it in competition with established American carriers. Details on the counterparties and terms remain limited.
Why now: Spectrum agreements are a key regulatory step for SpaceX's push into direct-to-phone satellite service, a rapidly growing area of the telecom and space industries.
