WASHINGTON, Oct. 8, 2025 – Verizon is acquiring fixed wireless provider Starry, the Big Three wireless carrier announced Wednesday.

The company didn’t say how much it was paying in its release, and declined to disclose the terms of the deal when asked by Broadband Breakfast. The deal is expected to close by the first quarter of 2026, pending approval from the Federal Communications Commission.

Starry has about 100,000 customers in Washington, D.C., New York, Los Angeles, Denver, and Boston. The ISP specializes in serving apartment buildings and other multi-dwelling units (MDUs).
