    EUROPE'S STARLINK COMPETITOR IS GO (2 MINUTE READ) [8]

    The EU's IRIS2 constellation is expected to come online by 2030. The
    Starlink competitor will provide secure connectivity to Europe and
    bring high-speed internet to dead zones. SpaceRISE, a consortium led
    by European satellite network operators and supported by European
    satcom subcontractors, has been given a 12-year concession contract to
    develop, deploy, and operate the IRIS2 constellation. The EU's
    partnership with SpaceRISE is intended to demonstrate the power of public-private collaboration in driving innovation and delivering
    tangible benefits to all Europeans.

    quo while they decide on whether to hear an appeal.
