Original Note:
IRIS² is publicly funded by the EU, unlike Starlink (SpaceX) and Kuiper (Amazon), which are private projects. The European Commission, as market regulator, also finances IRIS², creating a clear conflict of interest that could lead to unfair competition. https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/cipr/items/766818/en https://op.europa.eu/en/publication-detail/-/publication/693bbd4f-98d9-11eb-b85c-01aa75ed71a1/language-en https://www.starlink.com/ https://www.aboutamazon.com/what-we-do/devices-services/project-kuiper
