SpaceX’s Starlink may be planning to launch its own cellular offering for US consumers, potentially competing directly with AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile US, according to reports cited in the article. During recent talks ahead of SpaceX’s recent IPO, president and COO Gwynne Shotwell told investors the company is considering such a service, which could involve building out its own terrestrial mobile network or striking a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) wholesale agreement. Separately, some financial analysts speculate SpaceX could instead acquire T-Mobile US from Deutsche Telekom; TD Cowen analyst Gregory Williams wrote that T-Mobile US would be the “clear choice” for SpaceX if it cannot sign a wholesale network deal or build its own service.
