French regulatory protections block Starlink coverage to Northern Ireland and parts of the South East France’s regulatory measures intended to protect its spectrum have blocked Starlink from offering service to parts of the UK, leaving Northern Ireland and areas of the South East without coverage. The decision highlights cross‑border regulatory frictions that can restrict commercial LEO broadband rollouts.
