United States SpaceX secures network operational permit in Indonesia, govt says - Regulations
he Communications and Information Ministry says Elon Musk’s SpaceX has obtained the necessary permit to operate Starlink satellite internet service and is cleared to roll out test runs in Nusantara Capital City (IKN) in May.
"We are expecting the trial to use one ground station [...]," Wayan Toni Supriyanto, the ministry’s post and informatics management director general, said on Wednesday.
Starlink, a wholly owned subsidiary of United States aerospace firm SpaceX, obtained its operating permit after fulfilling the hub development requirement and device standards of the ministry’s Post and Informatics Resources and Facilities Directorate General.
Wayan added that Starlink was now in the process of applying for the licenses for internet service provider (ISP) and very small aperture terminal (VSAT), which it needed to offer direct-to-consumer services in the country.
“It is possible that the company has complied with the VSAT [requirements],” Wayan said, but underlined that it still needed to establish local cooperation on network access protection.
“Perhaps the cooperation agreement has not been finalized yet,” he said.
