Satellite Internet Infrastructure

Starlink NOT approved in Nepal despite strong lobbying. Key barrier: Nepal requires max 80% foreign ownership; Starlink demands 100% and refuses local partnership globally. PM Oli spoke with Elon Musk Nov 2024. Starlink demoed to officials. U.S. Embassy lobbying to remove foreign investment cap from new telecom bill being drafted. Meanwhile: Starlink used illegally at Himalayan base camps (NTA ordered halt). Neighbors ahead: India licensed, Bhutan launched Feb 2025, Bangladesh May 2025, Pakistan Mar 2025. Rural internet: only 17.4% of rural households have access vs 80% urban Kathmandu.
