SpaceX reportedly wants to buy Boost Mobile to compete with AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon

EchoStar has about 7.5 million customers between Boost Mobile and Gen Mobile, its other mobile service offering.Musk has also approached AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon about buying capacity on their networks. All three rejected Musk, and they may still have a say in a SpaceX acquisition of Boost Mobile. Boost doesn’t operate its own towers, instead leasing capacity from AT&T and T-Mobile, which might need to approve such a deal.

Sources speaking to The Post said that network leases are usually nontransferable.The big three providers each have over 100 million subscribers, dwarfing Boost Mobile.
