American billionaire, Elon Musk, still has his sight on Nigeria, as his internet company, Starlink, will debut in the country next year, a statement from the network provider shows.

Recall representatives of Starlink, which is a subsidiary of SpaceX, had visit Nigeria in May this year, to hold discussions with members of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).

The meeting reportedly centred around the operation plan and license of Starlink in the telecoms market in Nigeria, as Musk’s company aims to provide internet service to five percent of the world’s population, which includes Africa’s largest economy.

Findings by Ripples Nigeria disclosed that Starlink has a timeframe of late 2022 to start operation, but the company said its deployment is subject to regulatory approval.

“Starlink expects to expand service in your area by late 2022. Availability is subject to regulatory approval. Within each coverage area, orders are fulfilled on a first-come, first-served basis.” the company statement reads.

The company has launched 1,500 satellite, spending between $5 billion and $10 billion to support its 5 percent global coverage plan, but the service is still expected to cost $20 billion or $30 billion according to estimate.

It was gathered that there are 69,000 active Starlink users, but subscriber base is projected to hit half a million by next year, according to the American billionaire.

Starlink will be debuting in a market where MTN, Glo, Airtel and 9mobile compete for subscribers struggling to balance high cost of living and falling purchasing power induced by double-digit inflation, unemployment rise and underpaid jobs.

Imagine begging Airtel customer care to help stabilize the fluctuating network on my sim even when I have active data plan.

Airtel disrupted my zoom meeting on Monday. Someone even offered to sub me thinking I exhausted my data

I don suffer for Airtel hand too much!

Porting loading...

what is the NFF chairman doing in the meeting

How will the Nigerians network providers respond to this. Let me guess. They'll gather together and report the issue to F.G to kick them out. Because speaking logically I see no way I won't use the WiFi.

holy holy holy nnamdi KANU and elon musk is another saviour...

Anything to reduce the prize of data is welcome

It's going to be low orbit sattelite.

It does not need govt approval.

Citizens themselves will get the equipments and connect to it.

That is how it is supposed to work.

Like what DSTV did to TSTV

thought they said this year end. i already made a deposit for this

This is a game chager. You can have internet connectivity in any remote area as starlink receive signals from space.

The difference is that elon has influence and has money! He might even buy globacom(Nigeria owned ISP then use there licences to operate)

Sunday dare and pinnick dey the attachment

They will quickly beat Glo and Etisalat in my area. They are welcome jare... Competition makes things cheaper. MTN has been the master for so long... We need healthy rivalry.. Glo and Etisalat no follow at all.. Airtel spends more on advert than sinking cables and improving their network

Is that not Amaju Pinnick in the photo? What concerns him with Elon Musk?

Good news.. mtn needs a better competitor

It surprises me when Nigerians complain that data is expensive when you can buy 1gb for 300 and 5gb for 1400
check my signature

Let us cross our arms and legs and wait and see how nigeria policy and the big guns will frustrate this

Food don land for FG, another tax venture to zap!

Ryda:
They should please do.
