The Telecommunications Regulatory Commission of Sri Lanka (TRCSL) denied reports claiming that Starlink’s satellite internet service project has been suspended in the country.
TRCSL Director General Bandula Herath said the service is expected to begin operations in April, and the delay is due to the implementation of a regulatory monitoring system, known as a Dashboard.
“We are not suspending the service. Starlink is expected to commence in April,” Herath said. “The delay is only due to the requirement of a Dashboard system to monitor the quality of service provided to users and to ensure national security.”
Herath said Starlink’s operations will move forward once the necessary systems are in place. (NewsWire)
