SpaceX shared plans to create a cellular service during its first earnings call after its IPO, reports Reuters.
SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell said the company will "build out terrestrial" with the spectrum that it acquired from EchoStar.
She added that SpaceX intends to make Starlink a "true mobile service" that will win "quite a few" customers from Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile.
Shotwell declined to discuss the costs involved in the endeavor and said SpaceX had "great and new ideas" on how to build a mobile service, such as a large number of lower-cost base stations paired with Starlink dishes instead of cell towers.
The practical value is usually procedural rather than dramatic: the work matters if it produces better measurements, more reliable hardware, or a clearer path to the next experiment.
