European leaders are divided on how far to go in curbing Big Tech as they weigh decisions on satellite spectrum and cloud tenders.

Brussels is likely to allow Elon Musk's Starlink and Amazon's Leo to acquire European mobile satellite spectrum next year, but reserve most frequencies for European firms.

A separate decision on EU cloud tenders expected on June 3 aims to temper the influence of U.S. giants like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft.

Some officials advocate aggressive “Buy European” policies, while others fear backlash from Washington and question Europe's ability to fill gaps.

The EU's Cloud and AI Development Act, delayed by infighting, will address a €1 trillion investment gap with the U.S. and concerns over sensitive data.
