Eutelsat's Strategic Moves: France's Eutelsat is attempting to establish a European alternative to Starlink by merging with OneWeb and receiving a significant investment from the French state, positioning itself as a critical infrastructure provider in the EU's technological sovereignty efforts.
Challenges Ahead: Despite these advancements, Eutelsat faces substantial challenges in competing with Starlink due to its smaller satellite constellation, limited launch capabilities, and differing technical architectures, making it unlikely to achieve parity in the mass-market satellite broadband segment within the next five years.
