Starlink satellite internet has been launched in Bangladesh. Now it is expected that it can be launched in India soon. Starlink, which is part of Elon Musk's company SpaceX, provides high-speed internet service through satellite. With its launch in Bangladesh, the people there will get fast and reliable internet service.

Starlink's launch in India has also been discussed for a long time. If this service comes to India, then high-speed internet facility will be available even in rural and remote areas here. Starlink service requires a small satellite dish, which can be easily installed in the house or office. Through this, the internet speed is very good, and the connection is also stable.

Confirmed on X
After launching in Bhutan, Elon Musk's Starlink is now providing satellite internet service in Bangladesh. Musk announced on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, in which he confirmed that the service is now available throughout Bangladesh. This expansion is expected to improve internet access in rural and remote areas.

Starlink Monthly Plans in Bangladesh

Starlink's residential monthly plan in Bangladesh starts at 6,000 BDT, which is approximately Rs 4,200 in Indian currency. Users will also have to pay 47,000 BDT (approximately Rs 33,000) once for the Starlink Standard Kit. Apart from this, the handling and shipping charge is 2,800 BDT (approximately Rs 2,000), making the total initial cost around Rs 37,200.

Expected to launch soon in India

Starlink has been waiting to launch its service in India for the last three years. Recently, the company has received a Letter of Intent (LoI) from the Indian government. When the spectrum allocation of the Department of Telecommunications is completed, Starlink's service can finally start in India. This will bring the internet to rural and underserved areas.

Starlink service has now been launched in Bangladesh and Bhutan, and it looks like India is next in line. The service could go live soon as spectrum allocation by the Department of Telecommunications is complete, bringing satellite-based high-speed internet to remote and rural parts of the country. This could significantly improve digital connectivity in underserved areas of India.
