Europe’s push to break Big Tech’s grip tempered by internal debate
BRUSSELS: European leaders are divided on how far to go in curbing Big Tech as they weigh momentous decisions over giving EU firms preferential access to mobile satellite spectrum and limiting large multinationals’ access to EU cloud tenders.
On Tuesday, Reuters reported Brussels was likely to leave an opening for Elon Musk’s Starlink and Amazon’s low-earth-orbit satellite business Leo to acquire lucrative European mobile satellite spectrum next year as a result of a compromise that will reserve the bulk of frequencies for European firms.
