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, following protests from Warsaw's digital affairs minister. Initially, Polish customers would have had to notify Starlink when traveling outside the country and pay higher subscription fees after 30 days abroad. However, minister Krzysztof Gawkowski confirmed that Polish customers will no longer face any restrictions.
Gawkowski had criticized the initial requirement for Polish users to submit a travel declaration, including a passport copy, for every trip. Poland, an EU and NATO member state, has been a strong supporter of Ukraine, providing Starlink terminals and subscriptions to Ukrainian forces. Last year, Warsaw allocated €77 million to purchase 24,560 terminals and cover subscription fees for Ukraine, as well as an additional 5,150 terminals.
