SpaceX Might Soon Launch a Starlink Mobile Internet Service, Competing Directly With AT&T and Verizon

SpaceX is considering launching a Starlink retail mobile service to compete directly with AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile. The company's Connectivity division, which includes Starlink, is already profitable with $11.38 billion in revenue and $4.42 billion in operating income in 2025. By operating its own mobile retail business, SpaceX could leverage its satellite network to avoid costly infrastructure like poles and cables, potentially disrupting the $1.6 trillion U.S. communications industry.
