Last month, Starlink’s operation was suspended until it obtained licensing approval from the country’s telecommunications regulator.

To operate in the southern African country, the regulator proposed two options: the company can either apply directly for a license or collaborate with a registered public network within the country to offer its services. Demands that have now been met and Starlink can comfortably offer its services in the South African Country.

In his statement, Mnangagwa said that the licensing of Starlink reflects his administration’s dedication to creating an environment that encourages investment in technology.

He said, “I’m pleased to announce that I have approved the licensing of Starlink by POTRAZ to provide advanced internet and related digital processing services in Zimbabwe through its sole and exclusive local partner, IMC Communications (Pvt) Ltd, The entry by Starlink in the digital telecommunications space in Zimbabwe is expected to result in the deployment of high speed, low cost, LEO internet infrastructure throughout Zimbabwe and particularly in all the rural areas. This will be in fulfilment of my Administration’s undertaking to leave no one and no place behind.”

He said the investment confidence expressed by Starlink in Zimbabwe’s telecommunications infrastructure aligns with the Second Republic’s mantra, “Zimbabwe is open for business.”

He encouraged more investment by foreign conglomerates in Zimbabwe, emphasizing that the country is an investment destination of choice.

This accomplishment comes after all required documentation and agreements with Benin’s regulatory bodies have been finalized.

Benin has now joined Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Nigeria, Rwanda, Zambia, and other countries in Africa to reap the benefits of Starlink’s state-of-the-art, high-speed internet solutions.

This is an important step in Benin’s plan to strengthen its digital economy and link its people to the world’s digital economy.

The monthly cost of the service in Benin is CFA30,000 ($48.66), plus CFA15,000 for shipping and handling. The equipment cost is CFA400,000, or around $650, one-time.

The National Telecom Regulatory Authority (ARCEP) will charge users in the nation an extra CFA3,125 each month in order to access the electromagnetic spectrum required for service delivery. The regulator and the company are working together to lower these fees in the future.

For Benin, the introduction of high-speed, low-latency internet connection via Starlink’s Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite network is expected to be revolutionary. It also satisfies the urgent need for dependable and reasonably priced broadband internet services, especially in rural areas where traditional telecom infrastructure has either been inadequate or nonexistent.

Additionally, a variety of applications, including data-intensive research and development and video conferencing, will be supported by Starlink’s increased speeds and reduced latency.

Starlink is expanding further in Africa as part of SpaceX’s goal to deliver high-speed internet access everywhere, even in underserved, isolated, and rural places that are inaccessible to mobile network operators.

The company depends on its constellation of low-orbit satellites and plans to launch in 23 African countries by the end of this year.
