ROME (Reuters) - A possible deal between Italy and Elon Musk's Starlink for secure satellite communications would not pose a security risk, the head of national space agency ASI said on Thursday.
Rome is considering using Musk's telecommunications systems to provide encrypted communications between the government, embassies and defence officials operating in high-risk geographical areas.
