Safaricom wants the government to lock Starlink satellite out of Kenyan market

That fool does not know the market is self regulatory. It punishes and rewards. Safaricom has been treating their customers like dogshit. Now the consumers have a better alternative.

Lakini vile mzito Musk anasema starlink will start offering offering cellular service bila the dish si hii itaungusha kitunguu mkuu? Ama you can still resell for the other devices in the house kama TV, laptops etc … Hafai kutumalizia crumbs Sisi wanabiachala wadogo

Generally, its important nyeuthi remember that however this Safaricom Vs satellite internet thing is eventually resolved, it will be to the best interests of foreigners NOT .ke nyeuthi who are only required as consumers.

And for some token bribe our current leadership is ready and looking to cut deals like MobitelEA

A sanction is too extreme for our scenario. That’s a worst case scenario, they would only relieve us of some trade benefits. You asked about Kenya, a country, i answered with what has happened to other countries

Is a company (huawei) = to a country (iran, Russia etc) ?

Starlink plans to bring satellite internet direct to mobile phones

Tesla billionaire Elon Musk’s satellite firm, Starlink, plans to bring Internet and mobile services to subscribers’ phones in a strategy aimed at consolidating market share.

In an update on its official website, the multinational said the new satellites will have an advanced Evolved Node B (eNodeB) modem onboard that will act like a cellphone tower in space, allowing network integration similar to that of a standard roaming partner.

Starlink v2mini satellites and are reliably launched and deployed to low-Earth orbit every few days by the Falcon 9 rocket… Since our vision is to connect everyone using their existing phones without needing a new phone, upgrades, or a special app, we decided to use standard LTE/4G protocols,” notes the firm.

The satellite service will be ready for deployment anywhere across the globe subject to respective regulatory approvals without requiring and dedicated ground infrastructure.

Starlink will also need to forge partnerships with existing telco operators who will provide the critical LTE spectrum that will be used to transmit the satellite signals in what will allow Starlink to integrate like a standard roaming partner with local network operators.

The onboarded operators will in turn be granted reciprocal global access that will allow their users to access the service when they travel to any of the partner countries.

The Direct to Cell service would supplement Starlink’s current home and office installed services that have become popular with a growing number of users in Kenya—rattling local players including Safaricom, Jamii Telecommunications Limited and Zuku.

Dead on arrival? You start with one, and especially the new entrant, now that the old players have proven that they use this data for commercial activities
