Elon Musk prepares to enter the mobile networks market, which will change – La Nouvelle Tribune

On October 8, 2026, Elon Musk, through SpaceX, announced the acquisition of a portfolio of low-frequency licenses from Grain Management in the United States, covering up to 14 MHz in the 800 MHz band. This spectrum, compatible with most current devices, will enable Starlink Mobile to become a major mobile operator in the US, pending FCC approval. This move could disrupt the long-standing dominance of three major carriers in the US market by introducing satellite-based connectivity and a new network infrastructure.
