European providers are planning to build their own satellite communications network via a new consortium. This is intended to close radio holes, but also to ward off an attack by Elon Musk.
Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Telefónica and Vodafone announced their collaboration to develop a European satellite network for direct communication with smartphones, directly competing with Starlink.
Four leading European telecommunications companies have launched a new satellite communications network to compete with Elon Musk's Starlink service. The system they are working on would allow standard smartphones to make calls and connect to the internet directly via satellite.
As far as satellites are concerned, the US company Starlink is the measure of everything. A consortium of European telecommunications companies wants to stop this dominance. The EU should welcome the project.
Europe is preparing its own infrastructure and an alliance of large operators, but it does not have an immediate replacement for all of Starlink's tasks.
