EU Proposes New Spectrum Rules Amid Growing Independence
The European Union has proposed new rules for spectrum allocation, reserving at least two-thirds of available frequencies for European satellite operators. This move is part of a broader effort to increase Europe’s space sovereignty, with leaders highlighting various programs and investments in space-defense capabilities. The development was reported by an unknown source, which noted that the EU Commission’s proposal has elicited a response from the US Chair of the FCC, Brendan Carr, who emphasized the importance of reciprocity and nondiscrimination in the space industry.
