European telecoms eye joint bid for EU satellite spectrum
Original: Europeiska operatörer undersöker ett gemensamt bud på EU:s frekvenser för satellittäckning, i konkurrens med Starlink. #
Major European mobile operators, including Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Telefónica and Vodafone, are exploring a joint bid for EU satellite spectrum to provide satellite coverage, positioning themselves as a European alternative to Elon Musk's Starlink. The move would give the EU's telecom industry a stronger foothold in space-based connectivity and reduce reliance on SpaceX's dominant satellite internet service.
Why now: Europe wants to challenge Starlink's dominance in satellite internet and strengthen its technological sovereignty.
