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

European companies are scrambling to rival Elon Musk's Starlink after its restrictions disrupted Ukrainian drone operations, exposing military vulnerability to a single provider. SpaceX's Starlink leads with 11,000 satellites, while France's Eutelsat has only 600 in its OneWeb network. Finland's ICEYE and Nokia struck a deal with Ukraine's defense ministry to explore sovereign satellite communications.
