The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has provided a major update on the launch of Starlink, Elon Musk’s satellite internet service.
Starlink applied for a license on February 24, 2022, but must first register with the SECP and PSB. The PTA clarified that it cannot issue a permit until government clearance is obtained.
Shanghai Space Technology also enters Pakistan, promising better internet and tech innovation. Meanwhile, the IT committee has summoned SUPARCO to discuss space tech regulations.
Elon Musk confirmed on X (formerly Twitter) that Starlink’s launch depends on government approval. A Pakistani user, Sanam Jamali, urged Musk to bring Starlink to Pakistan, highlighting its potential for better connectivity and opportunities.
