Elon Musk’s Starlink receives approval to provide internet service in Nigeria and Mozambique

On Friday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced on Twitter that Starlink, the satellite internet service launched by SpaceX, his space exploration company, has been approved in Nigeria and Mozambique.

According to Nairametrics, The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) also confirmed this announcement. This licensing follows a visit to Nigeria by the company’s team in May last year to discuss the possibility of obtaining a licence. Starlink which currently operates in 36 countries has over 400,000 subscribers around the world.

“The company received two licenses, which include the International Gateway license and Internet Service Provider (ISP) license, and will be trading as Starlink Internet Services Nigeria Ltd. According to NCC, the International Gateway license has a 10-year tenure while the ISP license is to last for five years. Both licenses take effect from May 2022 and may be renewed after the expiration,” per Nairametrics.

Starlink is a low latency broadband internet system created to meet the needs of consumers in rural areas with low internet penetration across the globe. In simpler terms, it delivers super-fast internet via satellites to rural areas. It is theoretically capable of delivering 150Mbps internet speeds to any place on the planet. All the customer needs is a clear view of the sky.

Starlink enters a Nigerian Internet service provider space that is dominated by telcos like MTN and Airtel, as well as individual ISPs such as Spectranet, SMILE and others.

Compared to existing similar internet plans in Nigeria which cost an average of $50, Starlink is a more expensive option costing $599 (~₦330,000) for a full kit, including a terminal, mounting tripod, and Wi-Fi router, then a $110 (~₦60,500) for preorder and monthly subscription. Its premium service costs about $2,500 (~₦1.375 million) for the full kit and $500 (~₦275,000) monthly.

This price range is deemed expensive for the average Nigerian, except it introduces a different offering for the Nigerian Market.

Have you ever heard of variety? Is there any internet service provider that has only one plan?

Na wa for una o, allow them to come in and fix their prices, allow Nigerians to decide whether they can pay or not. Are you aware that people currently pay 50-100k monthly on data?


Na wa o, you think say Nigerians broke? Don’t believe the wailing you see on the internet

if it can be reutered through a WiFi device, then I think the amount can be splitted among the users and still get the supposed unlimited data?

A great win for the boys !

and don't forget high bandwidth too, what's the point of unlimited data if it's slow as � snail?

nairaman66:
Yes! Especially the way telcos drink their own data!!

Mind you, I paid 70k for 400GB on MTN.

This is good competition from another company entirely. Seems all Telco companies in Nigeria are unrepentant cultists!!

Glo 1TB is 100k

The subscription is for 3-months and you have data left for rollover. I mean 60k data a month.

Yes, in less than 1 week!

That's not the point.
The point is that he finishes the data splice before the month end sef.

Good
