Starlink belonging to the richest man on the planet, Elon Musk, is preparing for operations in Georgia.
On June 29, Starlink Holdings Netherlands established a subsidiary “Starlink Georgia” in Georgia and applied to the Communications Commission for authorization. The regulator plans to review the documentation submitted by the company on July 14.
Starlink provides high-speed, low-latency broadband Internet access worldwide, including in areas where Internet access is expensive, unreliable, poor quality, or completely unavailable. SpaceX has launched more than 2,700 Starlink low-orbit (LEO) satellites to date.
In the context of Georgia, Starlink is especially important and interesting in mountainous regions and in settlements without broadband internet coverage.
No large infrastructure is required to receive Starlink Internet. Only a power source and receiving device are required. As a result, it is possible to use the Internet anywhere in the world.
“SpaceX is currently working on the study of interesting niches in the Georgian market and is preparing for the commercial launch of Starlink operations in Georgia. I think this fact is a very important event for the country and the telecom sector, since after the introduction of Starlink, satellite Internet will become available in Georgia, and this will open a window to the innovative digital future.” for the development of the services market”, said Ekaterine Imadedze, a member of the Communications Commission, on June 21, after a meeting with the representative of SpaceX.
