SpaceX and EchoStar are reportedly discussing an acquisition of Boost Mobile, which could provide SpaceX access to T-Mobile and AT&T networks despite MVNO agreement limitations. The talks come as major carriers have rejected SpaceX's requests for direct network access.
Boost Mobile's around 7 million subscribers and cloud-native 5G infrastructure could help SpaceX expand its wireless services. However, existing MVNO agreements with AT&T and T-Mobile may not transfer to SpaceX, risking legal disputes.
