SpaceX agrees to buy low-band spectrum for Starlink phone service

SpaceX has agreed to buy wireless airwaves across the United States for its Starlink phone service.

The low-band frequencies can help signals reach phones inside homes and offices, where satellite connections often struggle.

SpaceX plans to link its satellites with cell towers to provide one network.

The move could make Starlink a stronger competitor to mobile carriers, but analysts say entering the US wireless market will be difficult.
