Акции Zillow Group A резко выросли 8 октября благодаря сильному спросу на аренду и предварительным данным о хорошем третьем квартале

Министерство обороны США: Raytheon получила многолетний контракт на SM-3 IB перехватчики на сумму 6.3 billions долларов.

Reuters, October 8 – SpaceX SPCX.O reached an agreement on Thursday to acquire a set of low-frequency spectrum covering the entire United States, allowing Elon Musk’s satellite company to directly challenge the country’s traditional wireless communication giants at the orbital level. While Starlink Mobile’s current global 2 GHz mid-band spectrum provides high bandwidth capacity, the new spectrum will enable its signal to penetrate obstacles. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Low-frequency bands are favored for their greater transmission distances and ability to penetrate dense structures such as walls and tree cover, solving a major technical hurdle previously faced by satellite-based mobile networks. By combining nationwide low-frequency radio waves with high-frequency space transmission capabilities, SpaceX is positioning Starlink Mobile as able to bypass traditional base stations entirely and challenge wireless communication monopolies in both wide coverage and indoor signal reliability. The deal increases competitive pressure on traditional operators, transforming satellite direct-to-device technology from an auxiliary safety feature for remote signal “blind spots” into a full-fledged commercial competitor capable of replacing terrestrial cellular networks. The share prices of T-Mobile US (TMUS.O), Verizon (VZ.N), and AT&T (T.N) each fell more than 6.5% in after-hours trading. The transaction involves a 100% acquisition of a nationwide 800 MHz spectrum package held by private equity firm Grain Management and still requires regulatory approval from the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Earlier this year, Grain acquired these spectrums from T-Mobile. Crucially, most existing, unmodified mobile phones already support the 800 MHz band, so consumers do not need to buy dedicated satellite phones. This week, the FCC also approved Starlink Mobile’s application for a second-generation satellite constellation, authorizing SpaceX to launch 15,000 satellites optimized for the 2 GHz band globally. This new satellite fleet will operate in very low earth orbit, providing ordinary mobile phones with wider bandwidth and low-latency connections.
