Sprint owned it? Maybe it was T-Mobile.
AnpanmanHOST
But as part of the Department of Justice consent to agree to to allow the Sprint T-Mobile merger, Dish Networks, which is now EchoStar, they acquired Boost Mobile, the brand, some of their customers, they also acquired some spectrum, some low-band spectrum, and of course, Charlie Ergen has cobbled together a bunch of mid-band spectrum, which ultimately got sold to SpaceX.
AnpanmanHOST
And then he made a commitment over a number of years to build out the network, which he tried to do.
AnpanmanHOST
He spent billions of dollars and then ultimately failed.
AnpanmanHOST
But for all intents and purposes, that's pretty much it, right? Because Boost Mobile, once...
AnpanmanHOST
Once Ergon had sold the spectrum to SpaceX, they decided to just shut down the network.
AnpanmanHOST
And then they pretty much offloaded all their traffic to AT&T as part of the agreement where AT&T, for those that don't remember, AT&T came in and bought a bunch of 600 megahertz spectrum from EchoStar.
AnpanmanHOST
And then they also bought some, I think it was like 3.5 gigahertz spectrum.

The frontier keeps climbing.
ParzivalHOST
The Washington Post reports that after America's top carriers turned him down, Musk's SpaceX has courted EchoStar about buying Boost Mobile or using its network, a backdoor into the $235 billion wireless market.
ParzivalHOST
Rivals are coming into focus too.

A US intelligence report published the first clear picture of China's secretive Shenlong space plane in orbit, docked to another satellite with its payload doors open.
Imran ShaikhHOST
SpaceX may have found a potential path to circumvent its way into the mobile carrier industry via Boost Mobile.
Imran ShaikhHOST
As first reported by The Washington Post, Elon Musk's company has held talks with Boost Mobile's parent company, EchoStar.
Imran ShaikhHOST
In recent months, that could see SpaceX launch its own signature wireless service through the existing network.
Imran ShaikhHOST
According to Washington Post's sources, the deal could look like SpaceX acquiring Boost Mobile outright or gaining access to its cell network, which is leased from AT&T and T-Mobile.

Shares of Lumentum were also trading around 16% lower today.
Kayla LopezHOST
Meanwhile, shares of SpaceX were trading more than 2% higher on reports that it could buy Echo Star's Boost Mobile or gain access to its network.
Kayla LopezHOST
Boost offers low-cost cell phone plans, and a deal would give SpaceX an existing customer base and a faster route into the U.S. wireless market, putting it in a more direct competition with legacy carriers like Verizon and AT&T.
John CroteauHOST
Last month, SpaceX agreed to buy a nationwide portfolio of wireless spectrum, which would help SpaceX build out a network.

Robb DunewoodHOST
The Washington Post reports that SpaceX held talks with EcoStar about using Boost Mobile to launch a Starlink wireless service.
Robb DunewoodHOST
That could mean a business deal or possibly buying Boost Mobile from EcoStar.
Robb DunewoodHOST
The three major U.S. wireless carriers have reportedly declined to partner with SpaceX on the venture.
Robb DunewoodHOST
And those are the
Rob BlackHOST
Financially, that approach could reduce initial customer acquisition and deployment requirements, but wholesale fees, handset subsidies, integration costs, and eventual network investment would weigh down on cash generation.
Rob BlackHOST
EchoStar could monetize Boost and reduce its wireless funding burden, while AT&T and T-Mobile face the competing possibilities of additional wholesale revenue, enabling a stronger rival ecosystem.
Rob BlackHOST
With their potential consent rights, Overboost Network's agreements representing a significant execution hurdle, Verizon would also face greater competition for subscribers and pricing.
Rob BlackHOST
The big winners I see in this one are American Tower, AMT, and Crown Castle, who pay big dividends.
