The trial period will run until the end of 2030, with no restrictions on foreign ownership of the service. The government has set a subscriber limit of 600,000 during this period.

It remains unclear whether SpaceX has applied for a licence to operate in Vietnam. Starlink currently operates in more than 120 markets worldwide.

The service will provide both fixed and mobile internet plans across Vietnam, including connectivity on flights.
