Vietnam has granted Starlink telecommunications and radio-frequency authorizations that enable permanent infrastructure deployment, with an initial cap of four gateway stations and up to 600,000 user terminals, according to state media cited by The Diplomat. The move supports rural connectivity and disaster resilience but raises governance, security, and misuse-mitigation requirements shaped by regional precedents.
French authorities arrested four individuals, including two Chinese nationals, and opened a judicial investigation into allegations of spying linked to Starlink-related satellite communications. The case highlights rising European counterintelligence and cyber focus on commercial LEO satellite infrastructure as a strategic asset.
