According to Jinse Finance, SpaceX (SPCX.US), the "AI + Space Exploration" leader founded and led by Elon Musk with a market capitalization exceeding 2 trillions USD, plans a major acquisition of a nationwide 800MHz spectrum portfolio in the United States from Grain Management, involving up to 14MHz paired spectrum. This marks a key step toward becoming a comprehensive mobile communications operator. This significant transaction initiated by SpaceX is still pending approval from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Media reports citing insiders reveal that the deal is valued at approximately 8 billions USD. The market has subsequently reassessed the competitive barriers for traditional telecom operators. America's three leading operators—AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile—saw their shares quickly decline in after-hours US stock trading on Thursday, with AT&T, which in recent years has explicitly refused to cooperate with SpaceX, seeing its share price drop by about 6% at one point.

According to Golden Ten Data APP, SpaceX (SPCX.US), founded and led by Elon Musk and valued at over $2 trillion as a leader in "AI + space exploration," plans to make a major acquisition of the nationwide 800MHz spectrum portfolio held by Grain Management in the United States, involving up to 14MHz of paired spectrum—a critical step toward becoming a full-fledged mobile communications operator. This significant transaction initiated by SpaceX still awaits approval from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Some media, citing informed sources, reported that the transaction amount is about $8 billion. The market immediately reassessed the competitive barriers of traditional telecom operators. The three major U.S. traditional carriers—AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile—fell sharply in after-hours U.S. trading on Thursday, with AT&T, which in recent years has explicitly refused to collaborate with SpaceX, dropping about 6% at one point.
