Discussion - T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon customers are cheering on America’s fourth possible major carrier

And I am sure you suffer from TDS as well. What part of more competition is better for consumers do you not understand?

No. It is not. Downsizing the government bureaucracy saves taxpayer money that can be used for better things. Like tax reductions. I am sure you also believe that keeping the illegal immigrants is a viable solution. It’s not. There is a direct correlation between illegal immigration, inflation and housing costs. Not to mention blue states inability to keep their budget balanced. Illinois has run out of money every single year for as long as I can remember. And so has New York and California. All because they prioritize illegal immigrants over citizens.

Anyone who thinks they'll be taken seriously using the acronym TDS is laughable. You're supporting a pedophile and a rapist. Plus, we're talking about Musk here (a known Nazi sympathizer and transphobe) not your lord and savior who's probably actively s**tting his pants as we speak.

Since when??? So you think that the richest man in the world won't gobble up ALL the competition and be the only player in your game and end up the only choice?? Just as Att and Verizon did in the 2010's to all the smaller cheaper networks!!

Show us on the doll where the autistic man hurt you

Dish had plenty of spectrum

I will take "Things That Never Happened" for a thousand, Alex. The fragility of the younger generations is sad to observe

The weak-minded people who are incapable or too lazy to build something of their own always lash out against those who are successful. Imagine a world run by people like JOSHGRIGS, who always whine about their own failings?

Honestly, the DOJ and the FCC never fully walked away from the idea of having FOUR carriers in the US -- and the waivers granted for a "hybrid network" that uses cell towers and satellites, along with other rule changes, seems to indicate the DOJ and FCC would gladly accept a D2D provider to become that 4th carrier.

To top that off, everyone forgot that Echostar (Boost) WAS building out their network and it WAS online for 75-80% of the population before they sold the spectrum to Starlink and ATT (both have 3-5 years to essentially finish the builds) -- and now Echostar's Dish Wireless (minus Boost) is in chapter 11, offering the ENTIRE network (which is still installed) along with all permits and uninstalled gear up for super cheap auction.

So SpaceX could essentially "build" it's own network on the cheap by buying up those towers and getting leases with the tower companies. And since those tower were programmed for the spectrum ATT/SpaceX bought SpaceX could go "full neutral" and get a low band lease with ATT, update those towers OTA, and have the entire network online within a month. (Solving the build deadlines for both carriers essentially overnight.)

SpaceX could also pick up the entire estate, extend the permits and use the hardware that wasn't installed to scale up and begin finishing what Echostar started -- and they can do it rather quickly.
