Shares of Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile slid after reports surfaced that SpaceX is in discussions with cell-tower owners to expand Starlink's direct-to-device mobile ambitions, reviving investor concerns about disruption to legacy carrier infrastructure.
This marks another episode in a pattern where Starlink-related headlines move telecom valuations more than traditional earnings catalysts, underscoring how satellite connectivity is reshaping competitive dynamics in the sector.
With spectrum partnerships and tower-sharing deals still speculative, traders are watching for official confirmation that could either validate the sell-off or trigger a relief bounce in beaten-down telecom names.
