EU to reserve bulk of mobile satellite spectrum for European firms
The European Union is preparing to allocate the bulk of mobile satellite spectrum to European companies in a bid to reduce dependence on foreign providers in future satellite-internet and mobile-connectivity infrastructure, Anadolu Agency reports.
The European Union is preparing to reserve a large share of mobile satellite spectrum for European companies, aiming to cut dependence on foreign providers in next-generation satellite-internet and mobile-connectivity infrastructure, Anadolu Agency reports.
The plan would give European operators priority in emerging services such as direct device-to-satellite links, while leaving a more limited band allocation for non-EU rivals.
The move is seen as part of the bloc's push for 'digital sovereignty' and could influence competition in the global satellite market. The final shape and timetable of the rules will become clearer in the coming period. This article is not investment advice.
