Poland has demanded that SpaceX reverse its decision to exclude the country from Starlink’s European roaming region, accusing Elon Musk’s company of treating Polish users as “second-class customers.” Deputy Prime Minister and Digital Affairs Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski said that he had asked SpaceX to urgently restore equal treatment after new roaming rules left Polish customers facing higher costs for cross-border use.

What’s the issue? Under Starlink’s updated rules, Poland is excluded from a European roaming zone covering more than 30 countries, including neighboring countries Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Lithuania. New customers have faced the rules since July 14, while existing customers are due to be affected from August 17. The change means that Polish users on Starlink’s 100 GB Roam plan, costing 180 złoty (€42) a month, could have to upgrade to the 460-zloty (€107) Roam Unlimited plan to use the service abroad.
