SpaceX in talks to acquire Boost Mobile for satellite-cellular network
SpaceX has discussed acquiring Boost Mobile to build a hybrid satellite-cellular network and compete with major US carriers.
SpaceX is in talks with EchoStar to acquire Boost Mobile as part of plans to launch its own mobile service using Starlink, according to The Washington Post. The deal would give SpaceX access to terrestrial infrastructure needed to complement its satellite network. However, Boost Mobile's network relies on capacity leased from AT&T and T-Mobile, which may need to approve any acquisition since such network leases are typically nontransferable.
