Shares of US wireless carriers are trading lower after SpaceX agreed to purchase low-band 800 MHz spectrum licenses from Grain Capital, which Grain recently acquired from T-Mobile. SpaceX also says Starlink will build a terrestrial wireless network to supplement satellite with indoor coverage.
Verizon's network focus over the past 15 years has given it the industry's broadest wireless coverage, and its reputation with most customers is sterling.
Rival carriers have rapidly deployed new spectrum and technology to add coverage and capacity. Verizon’s network leadership is a thing of the past, and recent price increases have soured its reputation with customers.
