The Ministry of Digital Development, Innovation and Aerospace Industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan officially announced the agreements reached with the American company Starlink to provide satellite Internet in the country.
According to the signed document, Starlink undertakes to comply with the legislation of Kazakhstan when providing satellite Internet services.
As explained by the press service of the department, the terminals of the American company will provide access to communications for schools in villages, remote medical institutions and other infrastructure facilities where it is difficult to install fiber-optic networks.
