Bangladesh announced on Sunday that it has officially approved a license for Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite internet service, as the country navigates through economic challenges, including the impact of US tariffs on its vital garment industry. The decision to greenlight Starlink comes after discussions between Musk and Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus earlier this year, with the aim of expanding internet access to remote areas in Bangladesh through the use of low Earth orbit satellites. This move is seen as a significant step towards bridging the digital divide in the country and improving connectivity in underserved areas. Starlink’s entry into the Bangladeshi market is expected to revolutionize the way internet services are accessed and utilized, especially in regions where traditional infrastructure is lacking. The licensing of Starlink also holds promise for boosting economic growth and innovation in Bangladesh, as improved internet connectivity can spur entrepreneurship and technological advancements. With the approval of Starlink, Bangladesh is poised to enter a new era of digital transformation and technological development, setting the stage for a more connected and progressive society.
