Starlink, the satellite internet service operator run by Elon Musk, has been conducting tests in Romania for several months to see if a global standard governing the use of satellites can be relaxed.
Specifically, the tests aim to demonstrate that a rule dating from the 1990s, which technically limits new-generation, non-geostationary satellites like those operated by Starlink, can be relaxed without affecting the functionality of classic, geostationary satellites, according to information obtained by Profit.ro.
