Musk’s Starlink Active in Iran - But Faces Problems
After announcing his intention to activate the Starlink satellite network to restore internet to Iran following Tehran’s move to cut off connectivity amidst protests, Elon Musk’s web service is reportedly now active - but requires terminals on the ground.
Global think tank professor Karim Sadjapour tweeted Sunday he had received confirmation from Musk of Starlink’s activation, but he believes it will cost “many millions” of dollars to set up and sustain the web service, and doesn’t expect the government to green-light the import of terminals.
Iran has seen days of protests after the alleged killing of a women in morality police custody. Authorities deny those accusations.
