Elon Musk’s Starlink Set to Become a ‘Major Mobile Carrier’ After Unlocking ‘The Last Critical Piece of the Spectrum Puzzle’

Elon Musk announced Thursday that Starlink Mobile is close to offering nationwide phone coverage in the U.S. after securing tools that will help signals penetrate through walls and other obstructions. 
Musk shared an X post from Sawyer Merritt, a prominent Tesla investor and commentator, who wrote: “AT&T CEO: Starlink Mobile won’t be able to penetrate walls. SpaceX: We’ve acquired 800 MHz spectrum, which will allow Starlink Mobile to provide better indoor coverage, including signals that can penetrate walls and other obstacles. People are underestimating Starlink Mobile.” 
Musk noted that “this is the last critical piece of the spectrum puzzle needed for SpaceX to provide complete phone coverage in America.”
