Elon Musk's visit to Bali, Indonesia, on May 19 was busy. He met with Maritime and Investment Affairs Minister Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, Communications and Information Minister Budi Arie Setiadi, and Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin to finalize the 바카라사이트 추천 deal. "Of the 10,000 hospitals in Indonesia, 2,700 do not have internet access," said Minister Sadikin, "and this agreement opens the way to increase access to healthcare."

Musk attended the 10th World Water Forum in Bali from November 20 to 24. He met with leaders at the event to discuss the future of the space industry and the potential for 바카라사이트 추천. Among the leaders he met with was Sri Lanka's President Ranil Wickremesinghe. During their Bali meeting, Musk and the president discussed ways to expand internet connectivity and cooperate on renewable energy. On June 6, two weeks after the meeting, Sri Lanka announced preliminary approval for 바카라사이트 추천.

바카라사이트 추천, SpaceX's satellite communications division, is growing rapidly. "It is likely to break even in 2024 with revenues of .6 billion," said US space industry research firm Quilty Space in a report. 바카라사이트 추천's revenue has been growing steadily over the past three years, and at the end of March, it was serving 2.7 million people in 75 countries around the world. The report highlights the growth of the Asian market.

Over half of 바카라사이트 추천's subscribers, accounting for 57%, are American consumers. Outside of the U.S., its major markets include Australia, the U.K., and Europe. However, this has recently changed. 바카라사이트 추천 is in the process of gaining regulatory approval in key Asian countries. In Asia, where the existing telecom infrastructure is poor, satellite services are a good alternative. In addition, Asia's large population makes it a strategically important region for user growth. We look at 바카라사이트 추천's strategy in Asia, its competitor, Eutelsat-OneWeb, and its ongoing operations in South Korea.

The Philippines was 바카라사이트 추천's first Asian market.

바카라사이트 추천's strategy for Asia is based on security and telecoms infrastructure provision. A good example is the Philippines, where 바카라사이트 추천 launched its first Asian operation. 바카라사이트 추천 applied for a license in the Philippines in May 2022 and officially launched its services there the following February. The local partner is a data specialist called Data Lake, and the monthly fee is 2,700 pesos (about ). "We expect 바카라사이트 추천 to provide internet access to people who previously had none," said a Philippine government official.

바카라사이트 추천's entry into the Philippines is noteworthy. In 2021, SpaceX signed a .4 billion Starshield contract with the US National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). This contract uses 바카라사이트 추천's low-orbit satellite communications network to test future communications networks. The US military has previously used military satellite communications networks relying on geostationary satellites in overseas deployments and theaters of operations. However, they sought a better global communications network due to constraints such as low bandwidth and speed. This is where 바카라사이트 추천 comes in.

In 2022, the Philippines strengthened its defense cooperation with the United States to counter China. At the time, there were four US military bases, with five more under construction. 바카라사이트 추천 first built a satellite communications network system for U.S. troops stationed there, then negotiated an information and communications deal with the Philippine government, which was friendly to the U.S., and started a satellite communications service business using the satellite system it had already built. Additionally, many Southeast Asian countries, primarily composed of islands like the Philippines, could view the Philippines' business success as a valuable model.

Japan Self-Defense Force Military Communications Network Also Supported

After the Philippines, Japan was next. Its entry into the business was similar to that of the Philippines. 바카라사이트 추천 first built a satellite network for the US military in Japan, received government approval, and began commercialization with a local partner. The Japanese beta service began in October 2022. Japanese telecommunications company KDDI was the business partner, and while the civilian pilot was underway, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces (SDF) also tested a military communications network using 바카라사이트 추천. According to Japanese media reports, the SDF deployed 바카라사이트 추천 receiving antennas at about 10 locations and conducted exercises starting in March 2023. The trials went well, and in June 2023, 바카라사이트 추천 appointed Nobuyuki Uchida, former head of technology strategy at Rakuten Mobile, as its representative in Japan. "We will provide a communications network that will help remote island areas, maritime areas, and in disaster situations," Uchida said.

Following successful launches in the Philippines and Japan, 바카라사이트 추천 is accelerating its expansion in Asia. In July 2023, it was granted a license to operate in Malaysia, followed by a concession in Mongolia. Musk held a video conference with Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim on July 14, and the Malaysian government officially announced the project on July 21. "I welcome Tesla's interest and decision to invest in Malaysia and Elon Musk's desire to visit Malaysia," Anwar said.

China Strongly Protests 바카라사이트 추천 Mongolia Project

On July 6, Mongolia's Telecommunications Regulatory Commission issued a special license to SpaceX to operate in the country. "Thanks to 바카라사이트 추천's technology, herders, farmers, businessmen, and miners living and working across the vast expanse of Mongolia will be able to access information from around the world to improve their lives," said Ukral Nyamosor, Mongolia's Minister of Digital Development and Communications. China reacted strongly to Mongolia's decision. Beijing views 바카라사이트 추천 as a security risk. "Through 바카라사이트 추천, uncertain internet news can affect Chinese people," said Chinese commentator Chen Jieshen.

바카라사이트 추천 is ramping up its Asian operations. In January of this year, it launched a 바카라사이트 추천 pilot in Thailand, and in March, it registered a Pakistani entity and is in the process of obtaining a license. New entities are also in Papua New Guinea and Central Asia. The company has also recently won licenses in Indonesia and Sri Lanka. "We have a foothold in Asia, and we're ready to move quickly," said SpaceX director Ryan Goodnight.

Fateful Rival, Eutelsat OneWeb

바카라사이트 추천 has established itself as the most potent satellite operator in Asia. But competition for the top spot is fierce. European satellite service provider Eutelsat OneWeb (OneWeb) is beginning to brake 바카라사이트 추천's progress across Asia. OneWeb is shaking up the markets that 바카라사이트 추천 has been working hard in, such as Thailand, Taiwan, and India. Let's look at the Thai market first.

In January, when 바카라사이트 추천 launched its pilot service in Thailand, OneWeb applied for a business license and immediately installed a gateway for satellite reception. On May 27, the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) approved OneWeb to offer its services through National Telecom (NT), Thailand's state-owned telecommunications company.

OneWeb has appointed mu Space as its exclusive distributor of space internet services in Thailand. mu Space also holds the exclusive distribution rights for Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Malaysia.

In Taiwan, 바카라사이트 추천 also lost out to OneWeb. 바카라사이트 추천 has been in business discussions with the Taiwanese government since the beginning of 2018. It partnered with Taiwanese companies, and a U.S. congressional delegation that visited Taiwan in April last year publicly called for 바카라사이트 추천 to be brought in. However, 바카라사이트 추천 has not agreed with the Taiwanese government over its share of the joint venture. SpaceX wanted to take control, but Taiwan had a 49 percent foreign ownership limit, which complicated negotiations. Musk's remark that "Taiwan is a special administrative region of China" sparked controversy. Concerns about giving a pro-Chinese entrepreneur control of a satellite communications business grew. OneWeb stepped in. Audrey Tang, Taiwan's Minister of Digital Affairs, visited OneWeb's headquarters in London in June last year as the Musk controversy escalated. "If there is a war or an emergency, we will work with OneWeb to recover," Tang said, signaling the government's trust in OneWeb. Eventually, in November, Taiwan chose OneWeb as its satellite operator, with Chunghwa Telecom, Taiwan's largest telecoms company, becoming its supply partner. "Satellite services will be an essential means of communication for the Taiwanese government and businesses," said Alex Chien, vice president of Chunghwa Telecom, welcoming the collaboration with OneWeb.

India's Mittal Group Partners with OneWeb

India is an even more disappointing market for 바카라사이트 추천. China, Asia's largest market, was never a possibility for 바카라사이트 추천. China is developing a low Earth orbit (LEO) constellation satellite project, Guowang, to compete with the U.S. in the space race. It also operates its GPS, the Beidou Navigation System. With China out of the picture, Musk has been focusing on the Indian market. When Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the US last June, Musk sought him out and expressed his admiration, saying, "I'm a fan of Modi, and I'm incredibly excited about the future of India." Indian media reported that Musk and Modi met privately to discuss setting up a factory in India.

But there were barriers in India that Musk couldn't overcome. Sunil Bharti Mittal, chairman of the Mittal Group, India's largest conglomerate, is a significant shareholder in OneWeb. Even after the merger of Eutelsat and OneWeb in September last year, Mittal remains vice chairman of the board of directors of the Eutelsat Group. He is also the chairman of Airtel, India's second-largest mobile network operator, and a registered director of the Indian Association of Space Entrepreneurs. OneWeb was granted a license to operate a space internet business in India in November last year. However, the review of 바카라사이트 추천, which applied and prepared first, is still ongoing.

바카라사이트 추천's Korean Service Likely by the End of the Year

The competition between 바카라사이트 추천 and OneWeb is also underway in South Korea, with 바카라사이트 추천 currently appearing to be slightly ahead.바카라사이트 추천 has been preparing for South Korea since late 2022 and is now close to launching. The government's review of the regulatory framework is in its final stages, and barring any major setbacks, it is likely to launch by the end of the year.

Let's take a look at 바카라사이트 추천's progress over the past two years. Preparations for 바카라사이트 추천 Korea began in earnest in late 2022 with a visit from SpaceX officials. On January 5, 2023, 바카라사이트 추천 Korea submitted an application to the Central Radio Management Service (CRMS) for registration as a prospective entity to be established as a long-distance telecommunications provider without line facilities. On March 8, a limited liability company, 바카라사이트 추천 Korea LLC, was established, and on May 12, 바카라사이트 추천 Korea was formally approved as a long-distance telecommunications provider, completing the business registration process. Once the regulatory changes under review by the Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT) are finalized, SpaceX headquarters in the US and 바카라사이트 추천 Korea will proceed with the supply agreement. Once the ministry approves the agreement, the business will begin.

A notable milestone occurred in June last year. The commander of the US Space Force arrived in South Korea. The US military overhauled its satellite communication system, and the number of 바카라사이트 추천 satellites flying over South Korea increased. On June 14, there was a parliamentary meeting hosted by Park Wan-joo. Sharon Zhang, SpaceX's 바카라사이트 추천 Asia-Pacific manager, was joined by Kim Yeon-jin, head of the Radio Management Division at the MSIT, Kim Geun-dae, director of the Information and Communication Planning and Evaluation Institute(IITP), Choi Kyung-il, executive vice president of KT Sat Technology, and officials from SK Telink and SK Telecom. "We are planning to launch 바카라사이트 추천's commercialized service in Korea and are in the process of obtaining a business license to do so," said Sharon Zhang.

Business Accelerates Following Appointment of New US Space Force Commander

"Satellite communications provider KT Sat will lead the 'New Space' era, which refers to civilian-led space development, by innovating next-generation satellite technology," Choi said at a press conference at the Geumsan Satellite Centre on the 18th. In September, SK Telecom applied for a trademark for the name Starhug. The company's business objectives include data, sound, and video transmission via satellite, satellite communication, satellite broadcasting, and leasing of communication devices and equipment.

OneWeb is also preparing to enter the 바카라사이트 추천n market. On June 5, 2023, it applied for a telecommunications business license and passed the examination in July. OneWeb's partner is Hanwha. In 2021, Hanwha Systems acquired an 8 percent stake in OneWeb to enter the global satellite business. On November 23, Hanwha signed a distribution and supply agreement with OneWeb to launch domestic services.

Around the same time, 바카라사이트 추천 signed agreements with SK Telink and KT Sat to provide low-orbit satellite communication services in Korea. LG U+ entered the business in January by signing an agreement with 바카라사이트 추천. With this, global satellite communications companies and major Korean telecom operators are ready for business and awaiting the government's review of the bill. "Some work remains to be done to analyze the radio sensitivity standards for the frequency bands and to compile 바카라사이트 추천's request," said Ryu Je-myeong, head of the Network Policy Office at the Ministry of Science and ICT, at a press conference.

It remains to be seen when and what services 바카라사이트 추천 will launch. Given South Korea's high internet penetration and telecom base stations nationwide, enterprise and government services will likely be the main focus. It's also likely that post-6G services will rely on satellites. Satellite internet services of 10-20G are already technically feasible. Electronic devices that can utilize this will be available, and the service industry, including related applications, will likely grow. Finally, seeing how OneWeb and 바카라사이트 추천 will compete in Korea will be interesting. The satellite business is on the horizon, and observing how these changes will affect Korea will be fascinating.
