SpaceX's Starlink Internet Activated In Nigeria, A First In Africa SpaceX confirmed in a tweet on Monday, that it has activated its Starlink satellite internet service in Nigeria, Africa's most populous country. Starlink seeks to deliver a global broadband network, using a constellation of satellites in Low Earth Orbit to provide high-speed internet coverage with the capacity to penetrate rural and geographically isolated areas. “Starlink is now available in Nigeria – the first African country to receive service,” the space exploration company announced in a tweet. The nation is the 47th in the world to get Starlink Internet services. Nigerian Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, recently said that following the licensing and operation of Starlink, the country had achieved 100 per cent broadband coverage. “Based on the National Broadband Plan, we were to have 90 per cent broadband coverage by December 2025," Pantami said. "However, we recently gave a license to Starlink to provide services, and this has given us 100% coverage, about 3 years ahead of schedule.” https://www.keneci.com/hotfeed-read-more#h.f50htt9r6q39
