Starlink Set to Launch in Pakistan by Late 2025, Says IT Minister Shaza Fatima

Pakistan is on the cusp of a connectivity revolution. Minister for Information Technology and Telecommunication Shaza Fatima announced that SpaceX’s Starlink internet services will go live in the country by November or December 2025.

During a recent meeting of the National Assembly’s Standing Committee on IT and Telecom, chaired by MNA Aminul Haque, the IT minister talked about Starlink’s rollout, the regulatory process, and its implications for Pakistan’s digital future.

Starlink’s Licensing Journey in Pakistan

The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) briefed the committee on Starlink’s licensing progress. According to the PTA Chairman, SpaceX’s satellite internet service has secured a temporary licence from the Space Board. A full operational licence is pending, contingent on the completion of regulatory frameworks.

“There are no issues with the licensing process,” Minister Shaza Fatima assured. She emphasized that satellite internet is a cutting-edge technology requiring careful evaluation. “We’ve hired a consultant to finalize the regulations. Once that’s done, Starlink will reapply for the full licence,” she explained. The minister’s clarity reflects a structured approach to integrating this transformative service.

Starlink isn’t just a promise. It’s in motion. The minister confirmed that infrastructure installation is already underway. If all goes as planned, Pakistanis could access Starlink’s high-speed satellite internet by the last quarter of 2025.

Starlink won’t be alone in Pakistan’s satellite internet race. Shaza Fatima revealed that Shanghai Spacecom, a Chinese company, has also applied to offer similar services. “We want multiple players in the space internet sector to foster competition,” she said.

Why Starlink Matters for Pakistan

Starlink, developed by Elon Musk’s SpaceX, delivers internet via a constellation of low-orbit satellites. Unlike traditional broadband, it doesn’t rely on extensive ground infrastructure, making it ideal for remote and rural areas. Starlink could be a game-changer for Pakistan, where internet penetration lags in many regions, boosting education, business, and connectivity nationwide.

The minister’s announcement builds on years of SpaceX’s global expansion, backed by proven success in over 60 countries. With PTA’s oversight and a competitive market, Pakistan is poised to leap into the satellite internet era.
