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.
