Update: European Commission to Establish EU-Level Selection Procedure for Mobile Satellite Spectrum

MT Newswires Live05-27

(Updates with European Commission's press release in the headline and in the first and second paragraphs.)

The European Commission said Wednesday it has adopted a proposal to establish an EU-level selection procedure for the assignment of mobile satellite spectrum to providers authorized to use the 2 GHz frequency band beyond 2027.

The proposal will divide two-thirds of the spectrum between EU and non-EU operators for commercial use, while the remaining one-third will be dedicated to governmental use, such as security and military, which will be provided by an EU operator, the commission said.

A Reuters report said Amazon's (AMZN) low-earth-orbit satellite business and SpaceX's Starlink can now bid for mobile satellite spectrum under the European Commission's proposal.

Amazon and SpaceX did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
