🚨 BREAKING: The FCC accepts SpaceX's application to acquire nationwide 800 MHz spectrum
Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile all told SpaceX "NO" when it asked to use their networks. SpaceX is building its own:
This deal with Grain Management secures 546 paired licenses covering ~100% of t800 MHz low band that penetrates straight through walls and already works with almost every smartphone.
Once it closes, SpaceX will hold up to 89 MHz of spectrum in every market it touches.
Elon Musk: "This is the last critical piece of the spectrum puzzle needed for SpaceX to provide complete phone coverage in America."
ITS HAPPENING

If driving to SpaceX, be extremely careful on Boca Chica Blvd right before crossing into the newer stretch of highway 4 - massive crater in the road after the long trail of potholes. 😬

Spent the day passing a kidney stone and missed most of today’s air show, but not everyone can say they got an ambulance to pick them up on NASA’s shuttle landing strip! All’s well that ends well. 🥴
