The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) is preparing to issue a license to Starlink, Elon Musk’s satellite internet venture, to enhance internet connectivity across the country. With the license pending security clearance, Starlink aims to launch its high-speed satellite internet service within the next year, especially benefiting rural areas.
Starlink has launched in Yemen, offering high-speed internet across the country, including conflict zones. The launch has been met with resistance from Huthi rebels, citing security concerns. The service promises connectivity even in remote areas, amid ongoing civil conflict and humanitarian crises.
Sri Lanka has granted a license to Elon Musk’s Starlink, allowing the satellite internet provider to offer broadband services in the country. This follows a recent amendment to the telecommunications law, enabling Starlink’s entry. The move is part of Musk’s broader strategy to expand Starlink’s presence in South Asia, including India.
