SpaceX has selected Qualcomm to build the ground network supporting Starlink Mobile, pairing satellite connectivity with terrestrial infrastructure. The partnership aims to integrate satellite and cellular networks to expand coverage, a setup that could pressure traditional telecom operators. Financial terms, subscriber targets, and deployment timelines were not disclosed in the announcement. The deal signals SpaceX's push beyond broadband into direct-to-device mobile service, where it will compete with carriers and rival satellite providers. What to watch next: Qualcomm's chip and infrastructure rollout schedule, Starlink Mobile's carrier partnerships, and regulatory approvals for satellite-to-phone spectrum use.
