Starting in the quarter ending in June, Starlink plans to compete with established competitors like Safaricom and Zuku by offering service in more cities besides just Nairobi, Kisumu, Mombasa, and Nakuru.
Starlink, Elon Musk’s satellite Internet company, will debut in Kenya in June. The firm said it must wait for service coverage or government approval.
Kenyans, if accepted, can place an order with a deposit of Ksh12,260 ($99), which is 100% refundable.
“Reserve your Starlink with your order right now! We expect Starlink to begin serving your location in the second quarter of 2023. The availability is contingent on receiving the necessary regulatory approvals. First-come, first-served fulfillment is applied to all orders placed within a given service area.”
In the quarter ending in June, Starlink plans to compete with established competitors like Safaricom and Zuku by expanding into the cities of Nairobi, Kisumu, Mombasa, and Nakuru.
Fiber optic cables, Wi-Fi, and cellular networks are the primary means of connectivity offered by today’s ISPs. In contrast, Starlink uses satellites to provide Internet access.
The firm will focus on convincing businesses to get faster internet service.
