SpaceX announced plans to acquire a low-band spectrum portfolio from Grain Management for $8 billion, completing its spectrum needs for mobile service. The low-band spectrum enables signals to travel through walls and solid structures, allowing Starlink to enhance its mobile service capabilities.

SpaceX has purchased spectrum from Grain Management to launch Starlink Mobile as a major U.S. mobile carrier, causing T-Mobile stock to plunge 13%.
