Starlink is so far only providing satellite internet service. It is being used more in places where mobile networks are not available. It is used more in remote areas and emergency situations. Its operation is already going on in many countries, while in many countries like India, Starlink is waiting to be approved. Now SpaceX does not want to limit Starlink to the role of a satellite internet service provider and also wants to make it a cellular service provider. For this, SpaceX will use a 65MHz wireless spectrum license. The company bought the license from EchoStar in 2025 for $19.6 billion.
