France is actively supporting Eutelsat to become Europe’s leading satellite internet provider, with the ambition to challenge Elon Musk’s Starlink. This move is part of the European Union’s broader objective to achieve technological sovereignty, reducing dependence on American technology companies operating in the space and internet sectors.
Eutelsat’s Plans and Challenges
Eutelsat, a prominent figure in satellite communications, intends to expand its broadband internet services across Europe and beyond. However, experts express skepticism regarding Eutelsat’s ability to match the:
- speed
- coverage
- cost-effectiveness
offered by Starlink.
Starlink operates a global low-Earth orbit satellite network, delivering high-speed internet even in remote areas, setting a high benchmark for traditional satellite providers. Eutelsat faces significant technological and financial challenges to compete effectively with this service.
France’s Strategic Investment
Despite the obstacles, France remains committed to investing in Eutelsat as part of a larger strategy to strengthen European independence in key technologies. The company’s future progress and developments will be closely monitored as this competition between satellite internet providers evolves.
