US Reportedly Warns EU of Retaliation Over Potential Starlink Spectrum Restrictions

The United States has reportedly warned European officials of severe retaliatory measures if the European Union proceeds with plans that could restrict spectrum access for SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet service, according to the Financial Times.
The dispute highlights growing tensions over telecommunications regulation, satellite connectivity and the treatment of American technology companies in European markets.
Radio spectrum access is critical for satellite broadband operators, making regulatory decisions an important factor in Starlink's ability to expand and maintain services.
The reported warning does not mean retaliation has been implemented. The eventual impact will depend on the EU's final regulatory decisions and any subsequent negotiations with Washington.
