SpaceX is buying EchoStar’s AWS-4 and H-block spectrum licenses and will pay as much as $8.5 billion in cash and up to $8.5 billion in SpaceX stock. The acquisition would allow SpaceX to offer its own direct-to-device offerings more independently, and is expected to resolve inquiries from the US Federal Communications Commission.
