MILAN (Reuters) - Elon Musk's space-based internet operator Starlink is trying to acquire more spectrum in Italy, two sources told Reuters, as Rome says it is waiting for the European Union to reach a common stance on the matter.
Starlink applied to the Italian authorities for access to E-band spectrum to boost communications between its three ground stations in Italy and its satellite network two years ago, the two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.
