04:44 AM EDT, 10/09/2026 (MT Newswires) -- VEON's (VEON) operator in Bangladesh, Banglalink, has launched a satellite-to-mobile service powered by Elon Musk's Starlink, enabling access to essential apps and location services outside the reach of conventional mobile networks. The move is designed to offer connectivity during emergencies, natural disasters, and prolonged power outages, the company said early Friday. VEON said users need a 4G phone and a Banglalink SIM card to connect through the MyBL app, with access through the RYZE app planned for a later date. The company did not disclose financial terms of the Starlink agreement.
