The decision marks a major step toward strengthening Lebanon’s digital infrastructure and expanding access to high-speed connectivity.
The Lebanese Council of Ministers has approved a license for Starlink Lebanon to provide internet distribution services across the entire country. The decision marks a major step toward strengthening Lebanon’s digital infrastructure and expanding access to high-speed connectivity.
Starlink, the satellite internet service operated by Elon Musk’s SpaceX, is known for delivering reliable broadband in remote and underserved areas where traditional infrastructure is limited. By authorizing Starlink Lebanon, the government aims to enhance nationwide connectivity, improve service quality, and support digital transformation efforts.
Industry experts suggest that this move could significantly reduce the country’s long-standing internet challenges, including frequent outages and slow connections, while fostering opportunities in education, business, and innovation.
The decision comes at a time when Lebanon is seeking to modernize its telecommunications sector and attract investment in digital technologies to support economic recovery and development.
