Elon Musk’s Starlink granted NOC to operate in Pakistan
ISLAMABAD (92 News) Minister for Information Technology and Telecommunication Shaza Fatima Khawaja confirmed Friday that Starlink, the Elon Musk-owned satellite-based internet provider, had been granted temporary registration in Pakistan on the directives of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
The minister said that Starlink had been issued a temporary no-objection certificate (NOC) with the consensus of all security and regulatory bodies.
She also stated that the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) would oversee compliance with fee payments and other licensing requirements by the company.
She also claimed that Pakistan was making significant strides towards digital transformation under the leadership of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
“Modern solutions like satellite internet will greatly enhance connectivity, particularly in underserved and remote areas of the country,” she expressed optimism.
Informed sources say that the grant of NOC to Starlink will pave the way for Elon Musk’s company to obtain a formal license from the PTA.
