Elon Musk's Starlink Expands in Africa With New Launches in Ghana, Botswana | Firstpost Africa

He should make it affordable so far as our poverty rate is higher in Africa especially Ghana.

Musk has no use for Blacks, but he will certainly take their money. Damn fools 😢

Telecommunications will be struggling to compete with starlink

Internet is too expensive in Ghana than any other country

#Freespeech well done @ElonMusk. They won't b able to turn off Internet when they rog elections

Isn’t it funny we are worried about its high cost yet local internet providers are scared it will kick them out of market. That should tell you about the very high cost of internet in these regions, at least I can talk of Ghana, expensive yet poor service.
We were happy to hear that starlink was coming but its high initial cost makes it something for the few.

It will fail in Ghana. Too expensive

ELON MUST❤ IS MY OLD FRIEND IN OLDS DAYS BUT WE WILL MEETS SOON PLEASE❤ YUDA JOHN THE BAPTIST YOURS FRIEND❤

wait…..starlink has been available in africa specifically Zambia for over a year now, how is this news now?

Is too expensive for us In Africa, they need to reduce it noww

it is expensive for the average citizen in ghana

They are not getting any cut. He is already collecting lawsuits in Kenya, but I don’t think they have the firepower to stop him.

Here are the REAL ISSUES IN SOUTH AFRICA.

1. Elon Musk doesn't want to comply with ICASA regulations in South Africa. You can't just beam EMR (electromagnetic radiation) to random countries. We regulate spectrum, and we sell spectrum just like real estate.

2. We have a 74% internet penetration rate and 80% surface coverage, provided by well-established local internet service providers. These companies hire locals, pay taxes, and, in some cases, the government is part-owner. They are traded on the JSE, allowing us all to buy stocks.

3. Countries that accept Starlink before establishing their own ISPs will obliterate their chances of developing their own telecom companies. They will remain at the mercy of Elon Musk and the USA.

4. Those who say it is because of BEE are telling lies. The BEE aspect might be mentioned by some as a potential factor in discussions, but the primary issue is compliance with South African telecommunications laws. Without proper licensing and adherence to regulations, any company, whether local or international, would face challenges in operating legally in South Africa.

In summary, the real issue is regulatory compliance, not BEE or the ANC's involvement.

African leaders always want a cut in the deal thus the frequent delays or stalling. Indeed Starlink will be a game changer since once on ground

Oh no 😢😢😢, I see nothing positive about this. They will do many things to Africa in future if you didn't do what they want :
1, sanctions
2, turn off your GPS signals
3, spy on you

Starlink hair optional 💇‍♀️

👻❤️🦇🐈‍⬛🥸

Cia spying satellite is launched. These slave African states never learn from their colonial history
