No final decision has been made yet. The EU is considering new rules for 2GHz satellite spectrum. After existing licenses expire in 2027, approximately one-third of the spectrum will be reserved for domestic operators controlled by European companies to enhance Europes independent satellite communication capabilities; another third is intended for sovereign communication services provided by the European IRIS² satellite constellation; and the remaining third will be open to international companies for bidding. Starlink currently provides satellite broadband in most parts of Europe and collaborates with companies like Deutsche Telekom to develop direct-connect services, but it does not yet have the right to independently utilize relevant EU spectrum to provide such services.According to AXIOS: Ukrainian President Zelensky said on Monday that the United States is exploring whether Ukraine and Russia can take steps to de-escalate the war during the winter, while restarting negotiations to reach a broader peace agreement.September 8th - Downing Street announced that the British Prime Minister spoke by phone with US President Donald Trump this afternoon local time.
