Starlink, a SpaceX venture, secures a major deal with Veon, a telecoms group, to provide satellite-to-smartphone connectivity. This agreement grants Starlink access to over 150 million potential customers across Veons networks in countries like Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Uzbekistan. The service is set to launch in Kazakhstan by Q4 2025 and in Ukraine in 2026. This partnership, while not exclusive, marks a significant step in Starlinks expansion, as it competes with AST SpaceMobile and Amazons Project Kuiper in the satellite connectivity market.The Daily News Now! — Every city.
