Sri Lanka is in the process of amending its Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC) Act to accommodate Starlink satellite system found by billionaire head of SpaceX and Tesla.
The island nation has already granted preliminary approval for Starlink to provide satellite-based internet services in the country, following a formal public consultation process. The move came after President Ranil Wickremesinghe met Musk in the sideline the 10th World Water Forum in Indonesia two months ago.
However, Sri Lanka’s TRC law has no provision to grant licence for a third party to operate telecommunication services.
