BARCELONA, March 3 (Reuters) - The number of people in Ukraine connecting to the internet using SpaceX's Starlink will probably reach around 12 million by the end of this year from the current 5 million users, the CEO of telecoms group Veon said on Tuesday.
Last year, Veon signed a partnership with Elon Musk's company in a bid to bring satellite connectivity to mobile users in remote areas as competition in satellite-to-smartphone connectivity intensifies. Veon unit Kyivstar has rolled out the service in war-torn Ukraine.
