SpaceX drops special roaming rules for Polish Starlink users
Starlink planned to require Polish users to report any foreign travel and pay a more expensive subscription after 30 days abroad.
Elon Musk's SpaceX has reversed its decision to exclude Polish users from its Europe roaming zone for Starlink internet service, after protests from the country's digital affairs minister. The move comes after initial plans to require Polish customers to notify the company and pay higher fees when traveling outside Poland, including to other European nations.
The controversy stems from Poland's support for Ukraine, with the EU and NATO member state being a vocal ally of Kyiv. Poland has allocated €77 million to purchase Starlink terminals and subscriptions for Ukrainian forces, reflecting its strong connection to the country's struggle.
