Iraq officially licenses Starlink satellite internet
Iraq has granted official licensing for SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet service, according to IraqiNews. The move would allow the satellite broadband provider to operate legally in the country, potentially improving internet access in areas poorly served by terrestrial networks. Iraq's internet infrastructure has long been criticised for outages and slow speeds, so approval of satellite service is likely to draw attention from both consumers and regional telecom operators.
Why now: It is fresh official news that Iraq's government has approved a major satellite internet service, with potential impact on connectivity in the country.
