Germany’s telecom market could face a new challenger as Elon Musk expands Starlink‘s ambitions from satellite internet to mobile communications. The company is already testing direct-to-cell services in the United States, raising questions about whether Europe’s telecom giants could soon face competition from space.
While satellite connectivity could help close coverage gaps in remote areas, industry representatives argue that Europe’s existing mobile networks are already highly developed.

As the battle over connectivity, digital sovereignty and critical infrastructure intensifies, consumers could ultimately benefit from greater competition and potentially lower mobile prices.
