The Senate Standing Committee has raised strong concerns over the entry of Elon Musk’s satellite internet company, Starlink, into Pakistan. Lawmakers stressed that no approval should be given without a thorough background check of the company, while some members even demanded a public apology from Musk before launching services. Officials from the Competition Commission of Pakistan (CCP) and SUPARCO have been summoned to review Starlink’s licensing, compliance, and impact on the local telecom industry. The committee also highlighted issues of competition, pricing, and data security, emphasizing the need to safeguard national interests while supporting technological growth and improved internet connectivity.
