Exclusive-SpaceX's talks with Vietnam over Starlink on hold, sources say
SpaceX's plans to provide communications services to Vietnam with its Starlink satellites have been put on hold, three sources familiar with the matter said, halting support for Vietnamese coast guard drones. Vietnam also needs satellite service for its vast mountainous areas and at sea, where it is often at odds with China over contested boundaries. Talks between Elon Musk's company and Vietnamese authorities had been under way for months, an industry source briefed on the discussions said, with SpaceX officials participating in a large U.S. business mission to Vietnam last March.
