SpaceX could buy Boost Mobile as part of its big mobile carrier plans

Musk discussed the potential agreement with Charlie Ergen, the chairman of Boost Mobile parent company EchoStar, last month, as reported by the Washington Post. Boost Mobile’s network is currently powered by T-Mobile and AT&T, meaning SpaceX may need permission from the two carriers to launch its service.

Neither SpaceX nor Boost Mobile immediately responded to The Verge’s request for comment.
