In a bid to deepen internet and broadband penetration in Nigeria, Starlink, a satellite internet constellation, has received approval to operate in the Nigerian market.
The satellite, operated by SpaceX, owned by the world’s former richest man Elon Musk aims to deliver a global broadband network, using a constellation of Low Earth Orbit to provide high-speed internet coverage with capacity to penetrate into rural and geographically isolated areas where internet connectivity is hardly achievable.
