SpaceX Talks to EchoStar for Wireless Access

SpaceX is assembling pieces to become a major U.S. wireless carrier by potentially building its own terrestrial network or buying available spectrum. The company recently held talks with EchoStar about acquiring Boost Mobile or gaining access to its network arrangements, though Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile have all rebuffed Musk's efforts to gain access to their networks.
