The satellite internet service is already available for pre-order on the official website, pending regulatory approval. The Starlink satellite internet service, developed by SpaceX, plans to launch in Tunisia starting from 2026, according to the company's official website. Users can already place a pre-order with a deposit to reserve the necessary equipment to access the service. Starlink has not yet obtained an official Tunisian license for full commercialization. The effective launch will depend on regulatory approval and agreements with the Tunisian authorities, who are currently studying the file. The service, which has already been tested several times in technical experiments, could offer high-speed internet access via satellite to Tunisian households and businesses, particularly in rural or underserved areas. The Tunisian government has not yet issued an official statement regarding the granting of a license, and discussions are still ongoing to define the legal and technical framework for the operation. Starlink is part of SpaceX's global strategy to expand its satellite internet network around the world, with an official availability map now indicating Tunisia as a "coming soon in 2026" country. It is worth noting that pre-ordering on the official website does not guarantee immediate access and will depend on obtaining authorization from the Tunisian authorities.
