From the headline I expected some kinds of new communication satellites. But instead this is "just" a marketplace where government entities can purchase services. The satellites were already in orbit and already "EU sovereign", this is about making it easier to use them and centralizing capacity planning<p>In a way this is the dry run for when IRIS² starts service in another four years or so, the European Starshield equivalent

The modern versions of empire are showing off all of deviant proclivities of our species. Humanity must find a way to move forward with individual soveriegnty, for which privacy, education, and financial freedom are keys, or live with the horrors of insane people continiously gaining controll of state/empire aparatus and turning it to cults of genocide.

Too little too late, but one can still appreciate the initiative.
