Starlink Temporarily Halts New User Registrations in Indonesia Due to Capacity Constraints

Starlink, the satellite internet service operated by SpaceX, has temporarily suspended new user registrations in Indonesia due to capacity constraints. The company announced that its service is currently unavailable to new customers across the country, citing sold-out capacity. Additionally, Starlink has paused the activation of new kits for customers who purchased equipment through retail or third-party sellers. Prospective customers can place a deposit to join the waitlist and will receive a notification once the service becomes available again. However, no estimated timeframe for availability has been provided. Starlink is collaborating with local authorities to expand its network capacity and resume service as soon as possible. This development follows Starlink's official launch in Indonesia in May 2024, marking a significant step in providing high-speed internet access to underserved regions. The company has been working with local partners to deliver internet services to remote areas and facilities lacking reliable connectivity. The suspension of new registrations highlights the high demand for Starlink's services and the challenges associated with scaling satellite internet infrastructure to meet this demand. As Starlink continues to expand its network, it aims to bridge the digital divide and provide reliable internet access to more users across Indonesia.
