Venezuela authorizes SpaceX's Starlink to operate
Original: Venezuela president authorizes SpaceX's Starlink to operate in the country
Venezuela's president has authorized SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet service to operate in the country, according to Reuters. The move would open the door to satellite-based connectivity in Venezuela, where internet access has long been limited by poor infrastructure and state control of telecommunications. The decision marks a notable shift given past tensions between Caracas and US companies, and observers are watching whether Starlink service will actually be deployed.
