Space Exploration Technologies Corporation, or simply SpaceX, is set to introduce its Starlink satellite internet service in South Korea. However, in the latest update, it was reported that the company has moved the launch to a later date.
SpaceX, an American spacecraft engineering company, explained it had to delay the introduction of its Starlink internet service in the country due to administrative procedures. It originally planned to offer low-orbit satellite internet service in the second quarter of this year.
According to The Korea Economic Daily, SpaceX announced that the new release date is within the fourth quarter of 2023. Sources in the industry also said that the launch was put off because of the lengthy administrative procedures that have been consuming so much time.
SpaceX established Starlink Korea in March and subsequently registered the service with the pertinent government agencies. This month, the satellite internet company was eventually granted a license as a registered telecommunications service provider by South Korea’s Ministry of Science and ICT.
The ministry revealed that SpaceX submitted the registration application for Starlink Korea on January 5, and it was only completed on May 12. In its application, the company indicated its intent to offer satellite Internet services and satellite Internet of Things (IoT) services to Korean customers.
As part of the review process for approval, the officials evaluated Starlink Korea’s financial and technical capabilities. They also looked into and assessed the company’s user protection plans as stated in the country’s Article 6 of the Telecommunications Business Act. Now the Korean subsidiary of Starlink is officially registered as a telecommunications carrier in the region.
Finally, the second vice minister of the Ministry of Science and ICT, Park Yoon Gyu, previously told the local press that there is a need to make sure that there will be no interference problems with other frequencies that Starlink aims to provide. And this is one reason why the administrative procedures for the launch are taking a long time to complete.
