04:25 AM EST, 11/10/2026 (MT Newswires) -- BT Group (BT-A.L) will delay launching its satellite partnership with Starlink after recent service disruptions that affected Ukraine's military communications, the Financial Times reported Tuesday. BT Chief Executive Allison Kirkby told the newspaper that the satellite collaboration was ready for rollout, but the telecommunications group remains "cautious on how Starlink might be viewed at the moment" and that it would wait until "the noise has died down." In November 2025, BT and Starlink unveiled a partnership aimed at offering ultrafast, low-latency satellite connectivity to rural and remote areas in the UK, with the launch initially planned for the latter half of 2026.
