Elon Musk’s Starlink Makes Africa Debut With Nigeria Rollout appeared on www.benzinga.com by Shivdeep Dhaliwal.
Nigeria has become the first African country to receive Starlink’s satellite broadband service.
What Happened: SpaceX, led by Twitter and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, shared a link to a coverage map and made the announcement of its Nigerian foray on Monday.
Nigeria’s Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, earlier said the country had achieved 100% broadband coverage post the licensing and operation of Starlink, reported Nairametrics — a local business, and financial news website.

Why It Matters: Starlink commenced operations in Nigeria with few persons who pre-ordered hardware but the pricing makes it unaffordable for the masses, according to Nairametrics.
The report noted that the hardware for the service costs $600, and the service costs $43 a month.
Trading Economics data indicates that the living wage in the African country stood at 43,200 NGN ($93.83) per month in 2018.
In October, Starlink made its Asia debut with the rollout of its service in Japan.
