European Telecom Giants Threaten Legal Action Against Elon Musk's Starlink Over Potential FCC Rule Changes
Alongside U.S. companies like Several European telecom companies, including Vodafone, Telefonica, and Orange, are considering legal action against Elon Musk's SpaceX if the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) relaxes radio emission rules for its Starlink system.
包括沃達豐、西班牙電信和Orange在內的多家歐洲電信公司正在考慮針對Elon Musk的spacex(臨時代碼)提起法律訴訟，如果美國聯邦通信委員會（FCC）放寬其Starlink系統的無線電發射規定。
What Happened: European telecom giants have expressed their concerns in a letter to the FCC, warning that any relaxation of emission limits could negatively impact licensed terrestrial mobile network operators and their users.
發生了什麼：歐洲電信巨頭在一封致美國聯邦通信委員會的信中表達了他們的擔憂，警告稱任何放寬發射限制的舉措可能對持牌地面移動網絡運營商及其用戶產生負面影響。
"Any relaxation that degrades the utility of spectrum that mobile operators have licensed from their respective national authorities, and which would undermine service quality and increase deployment costs, would be legal grounds for claiming damages," the companies said in the complaint.
這些公司在投訴中表示：「任何破壞地面移動運營商從各自國家當局許可的頻譜實用性，破壞服務質量並增加部署成本的放寬措施，都將成爲主張賠償的法律依據。」
Alongside U.S. companies like AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) and Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:VZ), the European carriers argue that SpaceX's technology could cause radio interference if allowed to exceed current limits.
與AT&T Inc.（紐交所：T）和Verizon Communications Inc.（紐交所：VZ）等美國公司一起，歐洲運營商認爲，如果允許spacex(臨時代碼)的技術超過當前限制，可能會導致無線電干擾。
SpaceX, however, has requested a waiver from the FCC, claiming that without it, their system may struggle to provide reliable real-time communications, especially during emergencies.
然而，spacex(臨時代碼)已向FCC申請豁免，並聲稱如果沒有這樣的豁免，他們的系統可能難以提供可靠的實時通信，尤其是在緊急情況下。
SpaceX asserts that its technology is designed to avoid interference with ground networks and requires the waiver only when satellites are over the U.S. It recently announced that its Starlink customer base has reached the four million mark, adding a million new customers in four months.
spacex(臨時代碼)堅稱，其技術旨在避免與地面網絡的干擾，並且只有在衛星經過美國上空時才需要豁免。它最近宣佈，其Starlink客戶基數已經達到了400萬，四個月內增加了一百萬新客戶。
Despite this, resistance from telecom companies continues to grow, with many supporting a rival provider, AST SpaceMobile, which is also developing satellite systems.
儘管如此，電信公司的抵抗仍在持續增加，許多公司支持競爭對手ASt SpaceMobile，該公司也正在開發衛星系統。

英偉達首席執行官黃仁勳表示，對於下一代Blackwell gpu芯片-雲計算平台的需求令人瘋狂。
Why It Matters: The legal threat from European telecom giants comes at a time when SpaceX's Starlink has reached a significant milestone with its 7,000th satellite launch.
爲什麼重要: 歐洲電信巨頭的法律威脅出現在spacex(臨時代碼)的星鏈衛星發射達到重要里程碑的時刻，已經完成了第7000顆衛星的發射。
This achievement has prompted FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel to call for increased competition in the space industry, emphasizing that it will lead to lower prices and more innovation.
這一成就促使FCC主席傑西卡·羅森沃克(Jessica Rosenworcel)呼籲增加太空行業的競爭，強調這將導致價格降低和更多創新。
Additionally, SpaceX's Starlink has demonstrated its capability in emergency communications. Earlier this month, T-Mobile US Inc. (NASDAQ:TMUS) successfully sent and received the first-ever wireless emergency alert via Starlink satellites, showcasing the system's potential in public safety scenarios.
此外，spacex(臨時代碼)的星鏈已經證明了在緊急通信方面的能力。本月早些時候，萬億移動美國公司（納斯達克: TMUS）成功通過星鏈衛星發送和接收了有史以來第一次無線緊急警報，展示了該系統在公共安全場景中的潛力。
Despite these advancements, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has criticized the FCC's decision to deny Starlink nearly $900 million in subsidies, labeling it as "contemptible political lawfare."
儘管取得了這些進展，spacex(臨時代碼)首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克批評了FCC拒絕向Starlink提供近9萬億美元補貼的決定，將其視爲"可鄙的政治訴訟。"
This comes as the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has turned to Starlink to provide connectivity in regions affected by Hurricane Helene, further highlighting the system's importance in disaster response.
這發生在聯邦緊急事務管理局（FEMA）向Starlink提供連接性，以提供連接性的情況下受到Hurricane Helene影響地區的進一步強調，進一步凸顯了該系統在災難響應中的重要性。
