Jean-François Fallacher, CEO of Eutelsat Group, has been discussing the company's position as an operational alternative to Starlink in the low Earth orbit broadband market. In interviews from April and June 2025, he stated that Eutelsat's OneWeb constellation has 650 satellites in orbit and 440 on order, and described it as a functioning service with customers and revenue, not a project or PowerPoint presentation. He noted that customers currently have two options for high-speed broadband with flat antennas globally: Starlink or Eutelsat. Fallacher also addressed the upcoming entry of Amazon into the market, saying that competition typically stimulates market growth and that Eutelsat is prepared. Fallacher has emphasized technological differentiation, stating that Eutelsat offers dedicated enterprise services such as virtual private networks and reserved capacity that competitors do not provide. He called for European regulation to create a "level playing field" for all market actors. On sovereignty, he argued that Europe should consolidate its space assets and align around projects like Iris² rather than going in separate directions, citing the need to compete with the United States and China, which he said are both building their own low Earth orbit constellations. He projected that the LEO broadband market would grow fivefold in five years and that Eutelsat aims to increase its market share, with a second-generation constellation planned for post-2030 growth.
