Pakistan is moving towards satellite-based broad and striving to ensure that everyone has access to Internet, WealthPK reported on Thursday.
According to Pakistan Telecommunication Authority’s latest updates, broadband penetration in the country has reached 49.94% with 110 million customers. Pakistan’s tele-density has also increased to 85.65% with 188 million cellular subscribers.
With the rising number of cellphone users, Pakistan needs to do more to ensure Internet access to those who do not have it as yet. In this respect, US-based global satellite broadband provider Starlink plans to provide satellite-based broadband Internet to Pakistan.
The firm, which has already been registered in the country, is expected to open an office in the country in the near future, marking the company’s first push into South Asia, WealthPK reported.
