SpaceX already offers direct-to-cell connectivity with T-Mobile in the U.S., providing supplemental coverage from space to extend internet ⁠access to remote areas.

SpaceX is now considering launching a Starlink retail product and could build its own terrestrial U.S. mobile network, President Gwynne Shotwell told investors during a recent IPO roadshow, the FT report said, citing sources.
Reuters could not immediately verify the report. SpaceX did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment outside regular business hours.
In September ‌last ⁠year, SpaceX bought wireless spectrum licenses from EchoStar for its Starlink satellite network for about $17 billion and then again for $2.6 billion in November, giving it the ability to quickly create a strong and ⁠affordable direct-to-cell service by using EchoStar's wireless airwaves.
SpaceX will disrupt the $1.6 trillion U.S. communications industry as its satellite broadband unit Starlink expands, brokerage ⁠firm Oppenheimer said in a note earlier this month.
SpaceX's record valuation is grounded in Starlink, which has over 10 ⁠million subscribers, and a launch business that analysts and investors say has transformed access to orbit.
