Elon Musk's Starlink expands airline deals and faces European regulatory concerns

Elon Musk's satellite internet company, Starlink, is expanding its services with airlines and in certain countries, while also facing scrutiny from European regulators. Lufthansa, Europe's largest airline, announced it will equip its fleet with Starlink internet, though its CEO publicly dismissed claims that the airline had offered the service earlier. At the same time, officials in Brussels are reportedly concerned about Starlink's potential dominance over satellite frequencies and are wary of Musk due to controversies surrounding his AI chatbot, Grok.

Separately, Starlink is providing free internet access to users in Iran, according to a non-governmental organization, and is also set to offer free broadband internet in Venezuela.
