Starlink is an internet broadband system capable of delivering 150Mbps internet speed to any place on the planet as long as its satellite dish has a clear view of the sky.
Elon Musk’s satellite internet firm, Starlink, has announced plans to set up shop in Kenya. The internet service is awaiting regulatory approval and is on course to be accessible in a number of cities, including Nairobi, Kisumu, Mombasa, and Nakuru, by June 2023.
The kit entails a Starlink dish, a mounting tripod, a WiFi router, a power supply, and cables. It costs Ksh74,216 ($599 ). Kenyans can pre-order and deposit a fully refundable deposit of Ksh12,260 ($99) to reserve a Starlink kit.
Albeit pricey, this means faster internet speed in Kenya (even in rural places) and bigger competition for internet service providers (ISPs) like Telkom, Airtel, Safaricom, Zuku, Faiba, and others who mainly offer internet connectivity through fiber optics.
