AT&T CEO Dismisses Starlink Threat After Worst Stock Week in Years

AT&T's CEO called SpaceX's Starlink late arrivals on July 22, 2026, stating "They're Coming to the Game Very Late." The remarks follow AT&T and Verizon shares posting their worst week in years on what MarketWatch termed a SpaceX "overhang." Starlink has roughly 12 million subscribers. Barron's analyst Supino notes building a rival wireless network would take years.
