EU to allocate two-thirds of key satellite spectrum to European firms
The European Union is nearing a plan to give European companies priority access to two-thirds of key spectrum used for mobile satellite communications. If implemented, SpaceX\'s Starlink and Amazon\'s Kuiper would likely compete only for the remaining third. The move centres on the 2 GHz band used to connect phones and vehicles directly in areas beyond terrestrial networks. Current licences held by Viasat and EchoStar expire in May 2027.

The move is drawing attention amid recent memory supply shortages and rising prices, which could increase the burden on users running Ubuntu LTS on older 4 GB systems.
