00:00The Starlink satellite internet service was launched in Indonesia on Sunday to improve
00:07the country's healthcare sector.
00:09Indonesia is the third Southeast Asian country where Starlink has ventured into.
00:14The Philippines' Starlink service has been running since February last year, while the
00:18service has been made available in Malaysia since July last year.
00:24We're very excited to bring connectivity to places that either have no connectivity or
00:29as we saw in the demonstration, very low bandwidth connectivity.
00:33So this is going to be really a lifesaver for remote medical clinics and I think it
00:39can be transformative for education as well.
00:42If you can access the internet, then you can learn anything and you can also sell your
00:49goods and services worldwide.
00:51So I think it's going to be incredibly beneficial especially to remote communities.
00:55On Tesla's possible investment in Indonesia's electric vehicle industry, Starlink said it
01:00was focused on its service first.
01:04Indonesia's Coordinating Minister of Investment, Luhut Panjaitan, said SpaceX and Tesla CEO
01:09Elon Musk and Indonesian President Joko Widodo met in Bali after attending the World Water
01:14Forum on Monday.
01:16Luhut said Musk will consider the government's offer to build an electric vehicle battery
01:21plant in the country.
01:34Indonesia's government has been trying for years to lure Tesla to build manufacturing
01:38plants related to electric vehicles as the country wants to develop its EV sector using
01:44its nickel resources.
01:46Starlink owns around 60% of the roughly 7,500 satellites orbiting Earth.
