Europe seeks less Starlink reliance but resists Brussels control
Original: Europe wants less reliance on Starlink, but governments resist more Brussels control
European governments want to reduce their dependence on Elon Musk's Starlink satellite network, but many are reluctant to hand more control over space and communications policy to Brussels. The tension highlights a wider split in the EU: member states agree on the need for strategic autonomy in satellite internet, yet disagree on whether the European Commission should lead the effort.
Why now: Concerns over reliance on Musk's Starlink have renewed debate about Europe's satellite sovereignty and the EU's role in it.
