Starlink, Elon Musk's satellite internet service, has launched in Bangladesh, providing the promise of high-speed connectivity across the country. Available since May 2025, it offers a solution to the inconsistent internet infrastructure that hampers remote work in rural areas. The new technology allows users to set up their connections independently, opening the door for companies to hire talent from previously underserved regions. With a subscription model and a one-time hardware cost, Starlink could redefine the nature of work, making locations like Cox's Bazar and Bandarban viable workspaces instead of just remote getaways.
Elon Musk's low-orbit satellite internet service Starlink just landed in Bangladesh with a big promise: stable, high-speed internet anywhere in the country.
Bangladesh's internet infrastructure has long been a mixed bag. While urban centres like Dhaka enjoy relatively reliable connections, rural areas lag behind.
Starlink's hardware doesn't rely on towers or fibre-optic cables. You set it up yourself, point it at the sky, and you're connected.
This, in essence, could be the digital equaliser we've been waiting for, allowing companies to hire talent from any district without connectivity worries.
