Former President Ranil Wickremesinghe has welcomed the official launch of Starlink satellite internet services in Sri Lanka, calling it a major step in the country’s digital transformation.

Posting on X (formerly Twitter), Wickremesinghe thanked Elon Musk for enabling Starlink access for all Sri Lankans.

News of the Starlink launch was confirmed earlier today by Elon Musk, who announced that the service is now live in Sri Lanka. The initiative is expected to expand high-speed internet access across rural and remote areas of the island. (Newswire)
