Internet Access and Satellite Connectivity in Turkmenistan

As of early 2024, Turkmenistan had about 2.59 million internet users, roughly 39.5% of the population—the lowest penetration in Central Asia. Turkmenistan’s telecom market is a state monopoly led by Turkmentelecom (Turkmen Telecom), with TM CELL/Altyn Asyr as the sole mobile operator after MTS exited in 2017–2018. There were about 4.34 million mobile subscriptions in early 2024, representing 66% of the population, with 3G introduced in 2010 and 4G LTE in 2013. In 2023 the government set a minimum broadband speed of 1 Mbps and a top tier of 6 Mbps, though real-world speeds are often far lower. The median

Inside Tajikistan’s Internet: Connectivity Challenges, Costs, and the Satellite Solution

Since 2016, Tajikistan requires all ISPs to route international traffic through the state-controlled Single Communications Gateway via EKTs, enabling surveillance and censorship. Fixed-line broadband penetration is effectively zero, with about 6,000 fixed broadband subscriptions nationwide (roughly 0.07% of the population) as of 2025. Mobile internet dominates, with 10.54 million active mobile connections by early 2024 (about 102.9% of the population) and 4G coverage reaching roughly 72% of people by end-2022. Tajiktelecom monopoly on international bandwidth; in 2018 the government deprived ISPs of the right to buy international bandwidth from abroad, forcing purchases from Tajiktelecom at inflated prices, with bandwidth sold

Chad bans satellite phones under any circumstances, with Thuraya explicitly outlawed and Iridium sometimes tolerated. Myanmar (Burma) effectively bans

Dove sono illegali i telefoni satellitari?

Bangladesh: tutto l’uso di telefoni satellitari è illegale, e il possesso può portare a arresto e detenzione. Ciad: i telefoni satellitari sono illegali in genere, con Thuraya vietato e Iridium tollerato solo in parte, quindi i viaggiatori non dovrebbero fare affidamento su questa distinzione.

Why Starlink Keeps Hitting Red Tape Around the World

Why Starlink Keeps Hitting Red Tape Around the World

In May 2023 the U.S. FCC sided with Starlink over proposed uses of the 12.2–12.7 GHz band, preserving it for satellite services and preventing two-way 5G interference. In August 2022 the FCC denied Starlink’s $885 million Rural Digital Opportunity Fund subsidy due to performance concerns and high equipment costs, including a roughly $600 dish. By late 2024 Starlink had deployed about 7,000 satellites and controlled nearly two-thirds of all active satellites in orbit, signaling its regulatory and market prominence. France’s Conseil d’État annulled Arcep’s Starlink frequency license in April 2022 for lack of a required public consultation, leading to a
