SpaceX’s $17B Spectrum Deal: Direct-to-Cell Wireless, Explained
SpaceX just made a $17B spectrum play — acquiring AWS-4, H-Block, and S-band/MSS rights from EchoStar to accelerate direct-to-cell service.
In this episode of Tech It From Me, I break down what was bought, why spectrum is the real currency of wireless, how direct-to-cell could change coverage forever, and who should be nervous (telcos, cloud giants, satellite startups). I also take a hard look at the risks ahead — regulation, debt, technology, and timing.
