Dan Schulman (댄 슐먼), CEO of U.S. telecoms company Verizon, said SpaceX\'s Starlink could need up to $500 billion and 8 years to compete in the U.S. mobile market. He said Starlink would face major technical and financial barriers and that satellite service alone would be insufficient. Schulman said a competitive network could require up to 80,000 large base stations linked to satellites and fiber, with network buildout taking at least 4 to 6 years.

Mobile carriers expand long-term customer perks, but value questioned

South Korea\'s three mobile carriers are shifting long-term customer benefits toward coupons and cultural and leisure experiences, while restricting new sign-ups or additions to some legacy family-bundled discount plans. SK Telecom halted new enrollment in a flagship long-term family discount plan and eased rules for another bundle. KT and LG Uplus also adjusted discount options. Critics say coupon use conditions and lottery-based experiences can reduce the practical value of the benefits.
