  "account": "Elon Musk's SpaceX announced on Thursday that they have purchased low-band spectrum, which enables the company to use Starlink satellites as a major mobile operator in the US. This means SpaceX secures the right to send mobile signals. A large portion of Starlink satellites already have the necessary equipment. The 800 MHz licenses became available after Grain Management completed a spectrum swap with T-Mobile in August, as reported by the Bloomberg news agency. Following the news on Wall Street Thursday evening, shares of major mobile operators AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon Communications fell. On Friday morning, all three were down by around 7 percent. SpaceX's stock fell around 1.5 percent in the following trading session. The telecom sector was the weakest in Europe on Friday morning: the Stoxx Europe 600 Telecommunications fell about 2.5 percent in opening hours, while the broad Stoxx Europe 600 rose 0.85 percent. In a post on X, Musk said the spectrum is \"the last critical piece of the spectrum puzzle\" SpaceX needs to offer full telecommunication coverage in the US. SpaceX writes that when the company receives approval from the US communications regulator FCC, it will combine satellite-to-mobile service with a backhaul network that can connect to devices anywhere. SpaceX says the spectrum is not publicly disclosed by either SpaceX or Grain Management, according to Bloomberg.",
