Summary

That will allow Starlink’s signal to penetrate walls and reach customers inside buildings. SpaceX has revealed that it plans to become a major mobile carrier and not just a satellite internet broadband service provider with Starlink. To achieve that goal, it has agreed to acquire 100 percent of Grain Management's nationwide 800 MHz spectrum portfolio. SpaceX says the acquisition is for a "low-band spectrum license portfolio of up to 14 megahertz of paired spectrum in the 800 MHz band," though it's still pending FCC approval.
