Following in the footsteps of Elon Musk's satellite internet service, Starlink, which is on the verge of launching in Pakistan, Amazon's has also expressed interest in bringing its satellite broadband Kuiper in the country.
Amazon willing to expand its satellite internet service in Pakistan portrays the company being on Starlink's tail, which is close to obtaining a licence for its potential rollout in Pakistan.
Official sources indicate that representatives from Amazon’s Kuiper project are exploring investment opportunities in Pakistan, as noted by PhoneWorld.
Authorities have welcomed this initiative and provided information on local registration procedures and legal requirements. Kuiper has already deployed over 100 satellites into orbit and signed its first contract with Australia, although it has yet to commercially launch services anywhere.
Additionally, two major Chinese firms, Shanghai Telecom and Telco Integrated, along with international operator OneWeb, have also approached Pakistani authorities.
Experts believe that the emergence of multiple satellite internet providers could herald a new era of high-speed connectivity in the country. In response to this surge in interest, the government is expediting the finalisation of a regulatory framework to facilitate these operations.
Authorities concerned have been directed to establish rules, regulations, and licensing conditions promptly.
The Pakistan Space Activity Regulatory Board (PSARB) has submitted a comprehensive report outlining proposed regulations for companies seeking to provide satellite-based internet services in Pakistan.
