description: "SpaceX wants access to at least 80,000 US cell towers to build a 4th national wireless carrier, per Bloomberg$SpaceX(SPCX.US) is in talks with at least one major tower owner, including $Crown Castle(CCI.US), and the deals could be worth billions of dollarsTower stocks ripped after hours. $Crown Castle(CCI.US) is up 9.7%, $SBA Communications(SBAC.US) 7.1% and $American Tower(AMT.US) 4.6%, per Yahoo Finance dataThe carriers went the other way. $AT & T(T.US)-Mobile US(TMUS.US) is down 4.3%, $Verizon(VZ.US) 3.6% and $AT & T(T.US) 3.3%SpaceX recently bought low-band spectrum and has FCC approval for 15,000 direct-to-phone satellites. Musk said on this week's earnings call that Starlink Mobile is on a path to become a major US carrierPairing satellites with ground towers is how SpaceX gets real indoor coverage, and that is a direct threat to the big three. Tower owners win either way because they rent space to everyone, which is why the market is paying them first and asking questions laterSource: StockMarket.News"
