KeyBanc says SpaceX spectrum deal boosts Starlink mobile credibility

1131 ET - SpaceX's latest spectrum deal makes its Starlink business a more credible mobile operator, KeyBanc Capital Markets analysts say in a note. The company plans to purchase low-band spectrum, which can penetrate buildings, they say. Given this deal and a prior spectrum acquisition--both of which DISH was utilizing for mobile service--it seems possible SpaceX could take over DISH leases, the analysts say.
