$SPCX The US has warned of severe consequences for EU businesses if Brussels goes ahead with plans to restrict American firms such as Elon Musk’s Starlink from accessing satellite spectrum in the bloc. The warning, issued by US Ambassador to the EU Andrew Puzder, comes after the European Commission proposed earlier this year to reserve a share of the spectrum used for direct smartphone-to-satellite connections for EU market players beyond 2027, when current licenses expire. The move could limit access to satellite frequencies for foreign providers as part of Brussels’ stated push for technological sovereignty.
