SpaceX eyes U.S. top mobile carriers with upgraded Starlink Mobile service in 2027

SpaceX is seeking to move beyond satellite internet into the mobile telecoms market. It plans to launch next-generation Starlink Mobile satellites in 2027 and start an upgraded mobile service later that year, using additional spectrum it expects to secure from EchoStar. SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell said the next-generation service would be 100 times better than current Starlink Mobile. The company also plans a hybrid network combining satellites and terrestrial infrastructure.
