VEON Ltd. announced on August 7, 2025, that it is in discussions with Amazon's Project Kuiper, AST SpaceMobile, and Eutelsat OneWeb. The aim is to expand its satellite services for mobile devices beyond Ukraine.
This initiative follows Kyivstar's groundbreaking tie-up with Starlink in Ukraine, which introduced direct-to-cell satellite connectivity. The potential for broader satellite partnerships indicates VEON's strategic intent to enhance network coverage and resilience across its operating markets.
Expanding satellite services could provide significant advantages in VEON's high-growth frontier markets, where traditional infrastructure may be challenging to deploy or maintain. This move aligns with VEON's commitment to leveraging advanced technologies to serve its nearly 160 million customers.
