Telefónica, Orange, Deutsche Telekom, and Vodafone have signed a letter of intent to explore a joint bid for the Satellite Mobile Services spectrum in Europe, with the aim of competing with Starlink and strengthening the security and sovereignty of connectivity infrastructure on the continent. #Telecomunicaciones #Satélites #Europa (translated)

In war, it is very important to preserve dignity. Zelensky stated that he feels "betrayed" by his "strong partner," who not only blamed him for the energy price due to his attacks on Russian refineries and told Ukrainians that they should choose another leader, but has also withdrawn his support on the battlefield: he suddenly paused intelligence sharing and limited the Starlink satellite network, essential for intercepting Russian drones, which has not yet been restored. #Trump #Zelenski #Ucrania (translated)

Nacho Montes de Oca wrote that Tesla and SpaceX stocks fell after a measure against Ukraine was announced, despite the success that, according to him, Elon Musk's flying car presentation had. He suggested that the declines could also be due to other events. According to Montes de Oca, the Italian government halted negotiations to contract Starlink services for $1.63 billion, amidst the controversy over the reliability of the service and repeated threats and incidents of signal cuts in Ukraine. He also noted that Germany had accelerated the development of its own constellation of sovereign military satellites. He added that Valérie Hayer, president of Renew Europe, and Andrius Kubilius, EU defense commissioner, had advocated for the urgent need for a European alternative to Starlink. The author stated that Democratic and Republican senators had sent a letter to the Defense Department's inspector general demanding an urgent investigation into the restrictions imposed on the network. He said this could affect SpaceX's contracts with the U.S. government, which he estimated at $29.68 billion. Of that total, he indicated, $8.05 billion corresponded to new military contracts awarded and based on Starshield, the company's military division. Montes de Oca maintained that Musk's accusations against Donald Trump and Trump's response— where he denied being responsible and also said he didn't believe Musk was responsible— had harmed the conglomerate's reputation. He attributed the drop in SpaceX's stocks to a loss of $28.6 billion for Musk. He also estimated that Tesla's decline between October 13 and 16, 2026, had reduced its market capitalization by between $35 billion and $38 billion. To those losses, he added the revenues that, in his opinion, could cease to be obtained from the Italian contract and agreements with other countries interested in the system. Finally, he noted that it remained to be seen whether Musk would maintain a strategy that, as he wrote, imitated Trump's aggressive stance towards Ukraine and Volodymyr Zelensky, or if investor pressure would lead him to change his decision. He also stated that support for Vladimir Putin had a high and self-destructive cost. #Tesla #SpaceX #Ucrania (translated)

The pact between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin on Russian diesel has sparked protests in Ukraine, and coinciding with this, SpaceX has limited Ukraine's access to its satellite system, putting the country's ability to fight Russia at risk while Trump tries to divert attention from his low popularity due to the war in Iran. #Ucrania #Trump #SpaceX (translated)

Ukraine urgently needs to use Elon Musk's Starlink satellites in the war against Russia, but faces restrictions imposed by the Pentagon that limit its effectiveness and put both the armed forces and the civilian population at risk. #Ucrania #Starlink #GuerraRusiaUcrania (translated)

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made an appeal to Elon Musk to restore access to the Starlink satellite network, crucial for Ukraine amid Russian attacks, while Musk claims that the restrictions are the responsibility of the U.S. government. #GuerraNaUcrânia #Starlink #Zelensky (translated)

Nacho Montes de Oca claimed that Elon Musk had used Starlink for political purposes to pressure the Ukrainian government and that it was not the first time he, according to him, had aided Vladimir Putin or followed Donald Trump's orders at a critical moment. He stated that the decision could commercially harm SpaceX by exposing it to geopolitical risks similar to those that, in his opinion, contributed to the international ban on Huawei. Montes de Oca wrote that the intermittent use of critical technological infrastructure as a tool of political or military pressure could lead Western governments to accelerate the development of sovereign networks. He also pointed out that the interruption would have forced the cancellation or failure of several Ukrainian drone missions, reduced the commercial appeal of Starlink for defense customers, and put contracts with the Pentagon and the trust of European partners at risk. Among them, he mentioned Poland, which, he indicated, financed about 50 million dollars annually in terminals for Ukraine. The author estimated the global market for military communications and satellites in 2026 to be 22.03 billion dollars, if only encrypted tactical communication services were counted. He warned that defense buyers could consider their reliance on a private provider financially risky. In his background review, Montes de Oca stated that in September 2002 Ukraine requested to activate Starlink in the region of Sevastopol, in occupied Crimea, to guide maritime drones against the Russian Black Sea fleet, but Musk rejected the request. He added that on September 30 of that year, SpaceX interrupted the signal for several hours—and, in some areas, days—in the regions of Kherson and Donetsk during a Ukrainian counteroffensive, which, he wrote, left drones disconnected and temporarily halted military operations. Montes de Oca also said that the following month Musk threatened to stop providing the service because he could not finance it indefinitely and reversed the decision days later, before the Pentagon formally took over the contracts and Poland covered part of the costs. Additionally, he noted that in February 2023, SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell confirmed that the company had technically limited the use of Starlink in Ukrainian attack drones and asserted that those restrictions had been tightened. Finally, he stated that Airbus was leading the European response and that, with 5.3 billion euros from the European military space program, it was designing and building low-orbit platforms for national and sovereign satellite networks. #ElonMusk #Starlink #Ucrania (translated)

David Alandete wrote that, in his opinion, all of Chavismo and its allies had mobilized to present Donald Trump's words as if they implied that a Venezuelan awarded the Nobel Peace Prize could not return to Venezuela. He added that he did not know if they were aware of the harm they were causing to themselves by defending that position. #Venezuela #Trump #Chavismo (translated)

El cohete Starship de SpaceX logró alcanzar la órbita y desplegar 26 satélites Starlink en su decimocuarto vuelo de prueba, pero sufrió una explosión durante el amerizaje, lo que ha llevado a diferentes interpretaciones sobre el éxito de la misión. #SpaceX #Starship #SatélitesStarlink

Você sabia que em Santa Catarina o PT e aliados estão propagando voto casado com um sujeito “didireita” para tentar tirar a vaga de outro senador que não seja do interesse do sistema? Aqui, todos estão carecas de saber desta artimanha! O PT e seus satélites estão 100% unidos para cumprir a missão dada: enterrar o nome de @jairbolsonaro vivo! Vamos Santa Catarina! Vamos Brasil! #SantaCatarina #Política #Brasil

Toda la información que tenemos sobre el DLC de modo historia cancelado para GTA 5. El contenido formaría parte de los casi 192 GB de archivos antiguos de Rockstar que han vuelto a circular por internet, este DLC era mucho más grande de lo que pensábamos. ▫️ Trevor iba a convertirse en una especie de agente secreto al estilo James Bond, trabajando junto a la IAA pero manteniendo toda su personalidad caótica. ▫️ Se han encontrado referencias a alrededor de 38 misiones principales y otras 14 actividades secundarias. No estaban terminadas, pero sí demuestra la enorme escala que tenía el proyecto. ▫️ La historia estaba dividida en varios arcos relacionados con la IAA, Rusia, Corea, Medio Oriente, un casino e incluso misiones ambientadas en el espacio. ▫️ El Jetpack iba a tener un papel muy importante. Existen referencias a varias misiones relacionadas con él, incluyendo operaciones de la IAA y otras vinculadas con Rusia. ▫️ También se encontraron enormes instalaciones subterráneas, una mansión con zonas secretas, bases submarinas, satélites, drones y escenarios relacionados con una nave espacial. ▫️ Entre las armas planeadas aparecen una ballesta y un arpón que podía utilizarse bajo el agua. ▫️ Algunos vehículos y conceptos que estaban destinados a este DLC terminaron apareciendo años después en GTA Online. Y aquí viene una de las partes más interesantes: ▫️ Muchísimas ideas de Agent Trevor fueron recicladas para el DLC de GTA Online "The Doomsday Heist", incluyendo instalaciones secretas, Jetpacks, tecnología avanzada, operaciones gubernamentales y elementos relacionados con Clifford. ▫️ Dan Houser ya había confirmado que el DLC llegó aproximadamente al 50% de su desarrollo antes de ser cancelado. ▫️ Steven Ogg incluso llegó a grabar escenas interpretando a este “James Bond Trevor”. En otras palabras, Agent Trevor no era simplemente una idea que Rockstar descartó rápidamente. El DLC llegó bastante lejos en su desarrollo y ya contaba con misiones, interiores, actuaciones grabadas, vehículos, armas, música y mecánicas propias. Una auténtica lástima que nunca llegáramos a verlo terminado. Aun así, su cancelación no habría sido culpa al 100% de GTA Online. Algunos antiguos miembros de Rockstar han explicado que, cuando Red Dead Redemption 2 entró en una etapa mucho más exigente de su desarrollo, el proyecto comenzó a requerir cada vez más recursos y apoyo de prácticamente todo el estudio. Al final, Rockstar tuvo que priorizar otros proyectos y Agent Trevor terminó quedándose por el camino. #GTAV #RockstarGames #DLC
