Elon Musk Starlink Gets Approval in Bangladesh Launch Expected in 3 Months India Awaits

Elon Musk’s satellite internet company Starlink has received approval to start service in Bangladesh. The decision was officially announced at an investment conference in Dhaka. Starlink got this license on March 28, which has cleared the way for high-speed internet facility in remote areas of the country. Earlier, Starlink started its service in Bhutan as well. Starlink is still awaited in India. Starlink has not yet been approved for this, but after the recent agreement with Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel, the company is expected to start soon in the country.

Of dhakatribune UnderBangladesh government has allowed Elon Musk’s Spacex project Starlink to provide internet service in the country. The license has been approved by the government organization Bida (Bangladesh Investment Development Authority) associated with investment and development. This decision has come at a time when Bangladesh wants to strengthen its digital connectivity, especially in rural and remote areas. Where the traditional broadband network is unable to reach, the satellite based system of Starlink will provide faster and affordable internet.

According to the report, Starlink Service may now take about three months to launch in Bangladesh. In February, there was a conversation between Allen Musk and Bangladesh acting Prime Minister Mohammad Yunus about the possible rollout of Starlink. Now after getting the approval, the company has started setting up its team in the country and getting technical preparations.

This decision for Bangladesh can prove to be a game changer, as many remote areas there are still not digitally connected. The arrival of Starlink may lead to a major change in access to education, telemedicine, e-commerce and government services.

Starlink is still waiting for approval in India. However, India is expected to meet soon after the deal with two big telecom operators Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel. Under this deal, Starlink may soon start providing its satellite internet service in India.

A few months ago, the Starlink Satellite Internet service was also made available in the neighboring country Bhutan. The company offers 5 types of plans in Bhutan.
