Elon Musk's SpaceX is facing scrutiny over its dominance in the satellite internet sector. The company is embroiled in a dispute with AST SpaceMobile, which aims to create a satellite network for cellular connectivity.
SpaceX has raised concerns about potential risks to low-Earth orbit sustainability posed by AST's BlueBird project. Critics highlight SpaceX's substantial Starlink satellite fleet, suggesting its opposition is driven more by a desire to maintain market control than genuine safety concerns.
Additionally, recent incidents, including service outages and controversial decisions affecting Ukrainian military communications, raise questions about the accountability of private tech companies in global security matters. As issues of reliability and misuse of services by criminal organizations emerge, the call for more regulation and ethical responsibility in the satellite industry grows louder.
