Why would any sensible entity wanting to surveil the poverty capital of the world do it by charging 600$ for hardware? When they can give you free Facebook and Twitter access without paying for a data subscription on a phone you already own? Lmao GBTYO: 1 Like |

With the 600$ installation price and 43$ monthly subscription as claimed by a Nairalandlander, I doubt an average Nigeria can go for it … hence, is meant for the rich guys. While the masses carry on with their normal MTN Glo and Etizalat subscriptions. 1 Like |

Lol. Your government regulated providers aren't doing that already? Remind me again how long Twitter was banned for in Nigeria? How about what happened during nationwide protests in 2020? mach7: 2 Likes |

This is a boon for real estate development. Now you can build estates away from the crowded city centers for people who work remotely, and still provide reliable internet services. These are fantastic times. God bless Elon for being such a visionary. 1 Like |

Once you understand what you're dealing with, you can easily recognize what's possible and what's not. You don't have 5$ 2G modems even in 2023, where do you want to get 5$ low-earth orbit receiver hardware from? jackcanfield: 1 Like |

litaninja:You can spread the payments on the subscription it's easy that way . Just get a valid contract . You should be considering volume not a segment of the market, the fact that you pay that much doesn't mean you would enjoy the service optimally giving other challenges like power. You can't use U.S template for the biggest market in Africa. |

Lukgaf: Not really. It's a fixed access device, it doesn't compete with mobile Internet access. It might affect their corporate sales though but Starlink's capital outset is pretty high comparatively. Also you can't repair any of the hardware components if they get damaged and given the nature of our storms likelihood of damage might be quite high. 3 Likes |

Did Apple shake up phone market in Nigeria?. Everyone will still sell their market massively. It's all good for us, we need to be set free from all those African useless telecommunication companies without visions. Lukgaf: |

We'll see how it pans out. Mr Musk didn't give a bleep about the Naija market until he ran into wahala with his Twitter purchase (which is giving him sleepless nights and lower back pains), and the emerging competition in the EV car industry. A good read! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starlink |

They have to live in close proximity to each other though for it to be effective. Remember, they will be connecting to a router (and only one can connect to the satellite) that's connected to the Satellite. And a router's range is limited. Curious345: 1 Like |

Yes, you have to buy a device for each location. Unless you want to be hauling the satellite dish/router back and forth to each location. This is broadband internet that's supposed to be fixed at one location. The satellite will have to be installed and probably attached to a building and then connected to the router. So, it's not really portable. qtx: |
