Elon Musk’s SpaceX has a ‘$17 billion plan’ for people who like to go trekking

Elon Musk’s SpaceX has recently made a $17 billion deal to acquire a set of airwave licenses from EchoStar. This move is part of a plan to create a seamless mobile satellite network that will provide all the features of a regular cell phone service, even in remote areas. Such a service will help users who enjoy trekking in the mountains or going camping, where mobile phone services are patchy, without requiring any additional hardware. The deal also makes SpaceX the first company to control satellite constellations, launch infrastructure, and direct-to-mobile device connections.
