SpaceX Acquires Spectrum for Mobile Network Expansion

SpaceX, a company owned by Elon Musk, is buying wireless licenses for $17 billion.

This deal will let SpaceX's Starlink provide cell phone service.

Right now, Starlink is like a satellite internet.

The idea is that people can use their phones anywhere, even in places where normal cell service doesn't work.

Boost Mobile customers will also get to use Starlink.

SpaceX already has a deal with T-Mobile to send texts through satellites.

Soon, they want to offer data and phone calls, too.

This could mean better phone service for everyone, especially in areas without good cell towers.
