Taiwan Lawmakers Remove Legal Hurdles for Starlink Operation Taiwan's Parliament has removed legal hurdles for Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet service to operate on the island.
This decision marks a crucial step in Taiwan's quest for communication independence from China, which has long been a concern due to its vulnerability to cyber attacks and physical disruptions.
Taiwan relies heavily on subsea telecoms cables to connect itself to the world, a fragile lifeline that can be easily severed by a Chinese naval blockade or sabotage.
