SpaceX is moving fast on both Starlink Mobile as well as Starlink Broadband. Last week, Bloomberg reported that the company was talking with tower companies to possibly lease up to 80,000 wireless towers to build a standalone mobile network.
Schulman said today, “I operate under the assumption that everything SpaceX says they will do, they will do. And that they will execute flawlessly.”
He said, “We always knew that they needed a terrestrial network to have any chance at providing a competitive service. And so, I think that SpaceX realizes this. And they’re exploring a potential path to creating a terrestrial network. I think we should take it quite seriously.”
