In months, no years, we have licenses for our country since 2011 telephone, and 2012 internet ISP-WISP, and we have people interested on install first nodes right now. 2019 at global level in first countries.
Good to know that they already got licenses in your county which is Spain, I think since you got licenses there it will be easy to get licenses in other EU countries.
For sure . EU countries are more open and welcoming for constructive projects like this . Not like Africa

although they are terrible when it comes to the internet services , they make it worst by refusing any competetors for their local companies.
