Ukraine's Starlink woes spur Europe to look for non-Musk alternatives

Europe is scrambling to find alternative satellite communication options to reduce dependence on Elon Musk's SpaceX and its Starlink service, after temporary restrictions on Ukraine's access highlighted the vulnerability of military operations to the control of a single provider. This disruption underscores the risks of relying on a dominant market player, prompting a search for more diversified, resilient communication systems. As rival satellite companies step up, this shift could reshape the global landscape of space-based connectivity and military communications.
