Revealing the time when Starlink and Amazon satellite internet will be deployed in Vietnam

DNVN - At the regular November press conference of the Ministry of Science and Technology, a representative of the Telecommunications Department responded to reporters' questions about the licensing progress for Starlink and Amazon's satellite Internet services.

Mr. Nguyen Anh Cuong, Deputy Director of the Department of Telecommunications, Ministry of Science and Technology .

According to Mr. Nguyen Anh Cuong, Deputy Director of the Department of Telecommunications, Starlink service provider, SpaceX “has almost reached the final step of applying for a license”. SpaceX has submitted the first application to the Ministry and the application has been reviewed by the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of National Defense. The Department of Telecommunications has responded to SpaceX to add to the points that need to be clarified in the application. SpaceX is expected to resubmit the application for the second time this week.

Meanwhile, during the meeting on August 6 with the Ministry of Science and Technology, Amazon made a proposal to be licensed to provide Kuiper services. Immediately after that, the Telecommunications Department and the Frequency Department coordinated to develop a detailed guide on the components of the dossier that businesses need to provide.

However, Amazon did not complete the application until November 24. “Immediately, the Telecommunications Department will coordinate with relevant ministries and branches to evaluate and appraise it,” said Mr. Cuong.

According to Mr. Cuong, according to Resolution 193/2025/QH on piloting a number of special mechanisms and policies to create breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation and national digital transformation, the Prime Minister will decide whether or not to approve Amazon's pilot application, based on an assessment of national defense and security and socio-economic development. If approved, Amazon will have to carry out procedures to establish a business and apply for a telecommunications license, similar to Starlink.

A representative of the Ministry of Science and Technology said that the Telecommunications Department and the Frequency Department are working in the spirit of support and implementation as quickly as possible, but progress still depends largely on partners.
