FT corrects telecoms oligopoly claim in SpaceX–EchoStar coverage

The Financial Times has issued a correction after misstating which companies make up the dominant trio in US telecoms. A Lex column published on September 9 erroneously included Sprint in the oligopoly of US mobile operators. The group in fact consists of AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile. The correction was appended to coverage of SpaceX’s $17bn spectrum deal with EchoStar, a transaction that has reshaped both companies’ prospects.
