💨 Abstract

Italy plans to test Elon Musk's Starlink satellites for internet services in remote areas, aiming to supplement existing infrastructure. The government is discussing this with regional administrations to test a 'space-based service' in remote or under-served regions. The move is a response to delays in fiber rollout plans, as part of a broader EU recovery program to ensure 1 Gigabit per second internet access across Italy by 2026.
