In this context, SpaceX President and Chief Operating Officer Gwen Shotwell confirmed that the company is considering “launching a Starlink retail product” and may build its own terrestrial network for mobile phones in the United States.
Implementing such plans will require the leadership of the Global Satellite Communications System to develop new retail offerings for individual customers, which will put it in competition with major American telecommunications companies such as Verizon, Wireless, AT&T, and T-Mobile. As the newspaper reported.
The Financial Times indicated that SpaceX’s entry into retail contracts will be one of the company’s most important “commercial expansions” since the launch of “Starlink,” which operates in more than 150 countries around the world and provides high-speed Internet connections through its satellites.
