Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus on Tuesday congratulated all involved as Starlink officially started its operations in Bangladesh, says his Deputy Press Secretary Abul Kalam Azad Majumder.

On 28 April, Chief Adviser Prof Yunus officially approved the license for Starlink, the US-based satellite internet provider, to begin operations in Bangladesh, marking a significant step towards improving connectivity, especially in remote and underserved areas.

On 25 March, Prof Yunus directed the relevant authorities to ensure the commercial launch of Starlink's satellite broadband internet service in Bangladesh within 90 days.

In accordance with this guideline, Starlink submitted a formal application along with the applicable fees and required documents.

A decision to issue the license was taken in principle during a meeting of the commission on 21 April.

Starlink becomes a new addition to Bangladesh's internet landscape, marking the country as the second in South Asia, after Sri Lanka, to host services from the global satellite internet provider.

Faiz Ahmad Taiyeb, Special Assistant to the Chief Adviser said, "With this, Sir's (CA's) expectation of launching within 90 days has been fulfilled."

He said that although expensive, this creates a sustainable alternative for premium customers to access high-quality and high-speed internet services.
