AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon join forces to eliminate mobile coverage dead zones

AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon plan a joint venture to expand satellite-enabled mobile coverage.

The carriers aim to share spectrum and simplify direct-to-device satellite integration.

The effort is designed to cut dead zones and improve service in rural and underserved areas.

The deal still requires final approvals and closing conditions before it can proceed.
