SpaceX Buys Spectrum for Mobile Service

SpaceX just dropped nearly $20 billion on wireless spectrum licenses—yes, for cell phones, not rockets—and it’s a massive clue they’re building their own U.S. mobile network. After tweaking the deal to add another $2.6 billion, the FCC approved it, signaling this isn’t a side bet but a full-on play.
