A senior EU member of parliament said that the EU must ensure that this telecom regulation reform will not make it easier for Elon Musk's SpaceX to control the European mobile and broadband telecom markets. Michael Kobosko, the European Parliament's chief negotiator for the Digital Network Act, said in an interview that the bill will update telecommunications regulations throughout the European Union. “Europe couldn't wait until it woke up suddenly to discover that SpaceX intended to take full control of the European market, and we didn't take any action.” “This will cross the red line and is very dangerous for us in Europe,” he said. He also added that his draft report establishes strict sovereignty and resiliency standards for pan-European mobile spectrum licenses. Kobosco criticized the European Commission's initial proposal for not being strong enough: it failed to fully guarantee Europe's technological sovereignty, lacked provisions to promote the unification and coordination of the telecommunications industry's single market, and failed to guarantee a fair cooperative relationship between European telecom operators and tech giants, mainly American companies.
