Starlink is a satellite internet constellation project developed by SpaceX, designed to provide high-speed, low-latency internet access across the globe.
The satellite internet owned by American billionaire Elon Musk plans to bring internet and mobile services to subscribers’ phones. In an update on its official website, starlink said that the new satellites will have an advanced Evolved Node B (eNodeB). The satellite will offer a speed ranging from 100Mbps to 200Mbps.
“From Safaricom’s perspective, the sentiments and the letter they shared were around Starlink being regulated in the same manner other ISPs are in the country. They feel it is not a level playing field from this perspective,” said Kemibaro the tech expert.
“I know for a fact that many people initially purchased Starlink to see if it was any better than their existing ISPs on fibre and other wireless services. “In many instances where Starlink has been installed properly, they are seeing far better performance, and many are making permanent switches at home and at work,” he added
