Kyivstar's parent VEON and Starlink Mobile announced that more than 11 million unique customers have connected to the direct-to-device satellite service across Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Bangladesh within a year of the November 2025 agreement. Kyivstar launched Starlink Mobile on 24 November 2025 as the first such service in Europe, free to its roughly 15.5 million 4G smartphone users; Bangladesh's Banglalink launched on 9 October 2026 to 20 million customers. VEON says the service could ultimately reach more than 40 million people across its footprint.
