The Iraqi Ministry of Transport announced the launch of the Internet using satellite technologies.

As reported by Ukrinform, this was reported by Iraq News with reference to the Iraqi Information Agency INA.

In the statement, it was stated that the Ministry of Communications is determined to provide the best internet to the Iraqi people.

The document states that providing people with a network via cables is a relatively long-term and expensive process, and also poses challenges associated with earthworks.

In the document, it is emphasized that in order to diversify the sources of Internet services, increase competitiveness and reduce prices, the relevant department of the Ministry has started negotiations with international companies on the introduction of “Internet from Space” service.

Iraq follows the example of countries using low-orbit satellite technology that provides direct internet to users through a large satellite network provided by international companies.

As Ukrinform reported, on June 12, SpaceX launched a new batch of 53 Starlink internet satellites into orbit.
