SpaceX's next big move could shake up not just AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile, but even Apple and Samsung
Wall Street is starting to realize just how massive Elon Musk's ambitions for Starlink Mobile have become
SpaceX just announced an agreement to acquire nationwide 800 MHz spectrum, bringing it closer to building a mobile network that combines satellites in space with traditional cellular infrastructure on the ground
And now analysts are looking at an even bigger possibility
Gene Munster believes SpaceX could eventually develop its own Starlink smartphone, despite Elon previously saying he doesn't want to make one
Think about what that would mean
SpaceX would control the satellites, spectrum, mobile network and potentially even the smartphone itself
A fully integrated system could offer unique connectivity features, eliminate coverage gaps and potentially deliver cheaper mobile service
AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile would face a serious new competitor, while Apple and Samsung could find themselves competing with SpaceX in the smartphone market
And the wild part is that SpaceX doesn't even need to build its own phone to start disrupting the telecom industry
Elon is building an entirely new kind of mobile network, and the implications are really enormous
