Starting August 13, 2025, Starlink satellite internet services from SpaceX officially launched in Kazakhstan for a wide audience, the MCRIAP reports.
Until this point, Starlink operated in pilot mode, providing access only to educational institutions. Now terminals are available to citizens, including residents of remote regions.
The official website of the satellite provider has also been updated and now shows the prices of two available tariffs in tenge (from 23,000 tenge/month + 104 thousand one-time for equipment).
The agreement secures Starlink's obligations to comply with national requirements in the field of information security and communications.
The project is being implemented within the framework of the national program "Affordable Internet" and the President's instructions to reduce the digital gap between the city and the village. The main focus is on helping hard-to-reach areas of the country.
It is expected that the connection via Starlink will provide communication to villages, mountain settlements, farm pastures, schools and medical institutions without access to fiber optics.
Kazakhstan is not limited to one supplier. In September 2024, an agreement was signed with Amazon Kuiper, a project to provide the Internet via low-orbit satellites.
Media reports that the British OneWeb is also already providing services and complies with the requirements of the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
