The Communications and Information Technology Regulatory Authority (CITRA) has granted Starlink a license to provide satellite internet services in Kuwait.
In a statement to the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA), CITRA confirmed that the license was issued after Starlink fulfilled all regulatory and technical requirements set by the authority, ensuring full compliance with Kuwait’s telecommunications laws and spectrum regulations.
The authority explained that the introduction of low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite technologies will enable high-speed internet connectivity with low latency. This is expected to enhance competition in Kuwait’s telecommunications market while providing users with more diverse connectivity options.
CITRA also commended the Kuwait Direct Investment Promotion Authority for helping create a supportive investment environment and facilitating Starlink’s entry into the Kuwaiti market.
According to the statement, Starlink will begin offering its equipment and services to the public in Kuwait once the final technical and procedural arrangements are completed.
