Plan May Impact SpaceX And Viasat Ambitions In Europe
The European Commission has proposed reserving two-thirds of the 2 GHz mobile satellite spectrum for European operators, potentially complicating plans for SpaceX and Viasat in the region. The proposal, which still needs approval from the European Parliament and Council, aims to promote sovereign connectivity and strengthen the EU’s communication networks. According to SpaceNews, the plan could add to transatlantic tensions over spectrum and space policy, with U.S. officials and companies already criticizing efforts to harmonize regulations across the continent.
