Jan 5, 2025, 07:27 PM
Italy is in advanced negotiations with SpaceX for a telecommunications security services deal valued at $1.5 billion, which would be the largest such project in Europe. The agreement aims to provide secure internet services through SpaceX's Starlink network for the Italian government, including encryption and communication services for the military. This development comes as Italy explores alternatives to the EU's Satellite Constellation Company IRIS and the possibility of developing its own satellite capabilities. Additionally, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni recently met with Donald Trump in Florida, which may have implications for this partnership.
