Starlink to launch satellite network service in South Korea

Seoul [South Korea], June 4 (ANI): Elon Musk’s SpaceX will launch Starlink satellite internet service in South Korea, following the approval from government authorities last week, reports the Korean Herald.

This launch will mark the rollout of a Low Earth orbit, or LEO, satellite network in the country, which would provide high-speed connectivity in remote and unreachable areas.

Seoul’s Ministry of Science and ICT gave approval to Starlink for a supply agreement. While a similar type of deal was offered to Hanwha Systems and KT Sat, which are resellers of the UK-based Eutelsat-OneWeb, another low-orbit service provider.
