SpaceX's Satellite Internet Service Is Providing In Its First African Country Now
explains, Starlink aims to deliver a global broadband network, using a constellation of Low Earth Orbit to provide high-speed internet coverage. These LEO’s have the capacity to penetrate rural and geographically isolated areas:
The ‘Nigerian National Broadband Plan: 2020–2025,’ reads in part, “The new Broadband Plan is designed to deliver data download speeds across Nigeria of a minimum 25Mbps in urban areas, and 10Mbps in rural areas, with effective coverage available to at least 90 per cent of the population by 2025 at a price not more than N390 per 1GB of data .
However, there are concerns about Starlink’s high price hindering the ability of Nigerian citizens to access its services. Meanwhile, even though Starlink is expanding, Elon is concerned that the service is losing money, perMusk said in October that Starlink was suffering from a lack of funds, in response to a Twitter user who referenced CNN’s report about SpaceX asking the Pentagon to pay for the service in Ukraine. He later said SpaceX had withdrawn the request for funding over Starlink in Ukraine.
SpaceX has provided the country with thousands of Starlink dishes since Russia invaded in February. The billionaire said in October that only 10,630 out of 25,300 Starlink terminals in Ukraine were paying for service.
