Greenland pays $124/month for 15 Mbps as Starlink offers 200 Mbps in Denmark for $57

Quoting EU Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen's announcement of new satellite connectivity cooperation, XFreeze mocks the OneWeb-backed service coming to East Greenland: 15/5 Mbps for 799 DKK ($124) per month in 2026. By contrast, Starlink in Denmark charges $37 for 100 Mbps, $57 for 200 Mbps, and $82 for up to 400+ Mbps — meaning Starlink's 200 Mbps plan costs less than half while delivering over 13× the speed, and even its top residential tier undercuts the 15 Mbps plan. The author criticizes Europe for spending billions on 'strategic autonomy' satellite architecture instead of embracing existing scaled technology.
