Global expansion for Starlink: Papua New Guinea is connected

According to a report by the HaberKupur channel, known primarily for its reports on technology and international news, Starlink has officially begun providing its satellite internet services in the country of Papua New Guinea.

The report, which gained wide exposure with over 6,300 views, notes that this move is another layer in Elon Musk's global deployment plan to provide high-speed internet access to remote areas. As part of the official announcement, the channel noted that "Starlink, Papua New Guinea has started providing service."

Alongside the technological aspect, the report included an economic figure illustrating the local exchange rate, according to which "one Papua New Guinean kina is equivalent to about 10.42 Turkish liras." This information comes against the backdrop of discussions in online communities, where users such as lannsibell and browserpplub expressed amused bewilderment regarding the country's status and location in the modern world, wondering: "Do these still exist?"
