Europe must choose between US or Chinese satellite tech, says FCC chair

European allies who have reservations about working with Elon Musk’s Starlink will have more to worry about if they side with Chinese satellite internet services, Federal Communications Commission chair Brendan Carr told the Financial Times. Carr said that politics having an influence on long-term decisions in Europe was “unfortunate,” and that “allied Western democracies” should instead be focusing on “the real long-term bogey: the rise of the Chinese Communist party.”

“If you’re concerned about Starlink, just wait for the CCP’s version, then you’ll be really worried,” Carr told The Times. “If Europe has its own satellite constellation then great, I think the more the better. But more broadly, I think Europe is caught a little bit between the US and China. And it’s sort of time for choosing.”

Starlink, which is owned by Musk’s SpaceX company, is the largest global satellite constellation operator, providing internet and limited mobile connectivity via a network of 7,135 satellites. Some European governments and companies have suspended Starlink purchase negotiations and started exploring other options in recent weeks after Musk said on X that Ukraine’s “entire front line” would collapse if he switched off access for the country.

Carr told The Times that he believes Europe is “caught” between Washington and Beijing and that he was concerned a “great divide” in AI and satellite technology was opening between “CCP-aligned countries and others.”

These comments come amid escalating breakdowns in the relationship between European governments and the US since Donald Trump came into power and bedded down with wealthy US tech leaders. Carr said that European regulators — which have various ongoing investigations into Meta, Apple, Google, and X — had a “bias” against US tech companies. Carr also accused the European Commission of “protectionism” and having an “anti-American” attitude, according to The Times.
