The space.com article is beyond bad. They didn’t understand the case at all. The issue at stake here is monopolization of radio frequencies not of the whole market. The license which was awarded to spacex in February was for the use of specific radio bands which are regulated in France. The French regulator allowed SpaceX to use them arguing that these bands were large enough that they should be able to withstand multiple providers but without doing a formal study. The high court revoked it because by law the assessment was mandatory. The regulator is free to properly do it and allows spacex to operate again which is what’s going to happen.
