The Vietnamese government has granted permission to the American aerospace company SpaceX to launch its Starlink satellite internet service in the country. In February, the Ministry of Science and Technology issued a license to SpaceX’s local subsidiary, authorizing the provision of both fixed and mobile satellite internet services. Additionally, the company was permitted to use radio frequencies and other related equipment essential for delivering this service. Starlink, operated by SpaceX, is a satellite connectivity project designed to provide high-speed and reliable internet in remote and underserved areas worldwide by deploying a network of millions of small satellites orbiting the Earth. The service has already been launched in several countries where internet access or quality needed enhancement. The approval of Starlink in Vietnam is expected to improve the country’s internet infrastructure, particularly in rural and remote regions with weak internet speed and quality. This move is anticipated to benefit consumers with better internet services and bolster the nation’s digital economy. However, the expansion of satellite internet services may pose regulatory challenges and security concerns that will require cooperation between government agencies and companies. Furthermore, the increasing number of satellites in international space raises issues of space pollution, which is currently under global discussion. The approval of Starlink in Vietnam opens opportunities for advanced internet services in the future and is considered a significant step forward for the country’s technology sector.
