SpaceX and internet provider Charter Communications have held executive-level talks about partnering on a consumer mobile phone offering in the United States, Bloomberg News reported on Friday, citing sources. • Charter Communications declined to comment to Reuters. SpaceX did not immediately respond to a request for comment outside office hours. • SpaceX already offers direct-to-cell connectivity with T-Mobile in the U.S., providing supplemental coverage from space to extend internet access to remote areas. • Charter could run some of SpaceX's phone traffic through its ground-based internet infrastructure, the report said.
