French Union Challenges Amazon's Satellite Rights

CFE-CGC Telecoms union seeks to cancel Arcep's 10-year frequency award to Amazon's LEO network.
Arcep skipped market analysis, failed to consult competition authority, and avoided competitive tender for radio frequencies.
Amazon's Project Kuiper plans involve over 3,000 LEO satellites, with 27 launched this year.
France opposes U.S. tech firms' satellite expansion, with Starlink and Eutelsat operating large fleets.
Oxford Economics linked Project Kuiper to France's economic gains but raised concerns over Starlink's reliance.
