The result of Starlink's price increase
- Starlink doubles subscription prices in Nigeria due to excessive inflation.
- Standard residential plan now costs ₦75,000 ($48) per month, up from ₦38,000 ($24).
- Starlink kits remain priced at ₦440,000 in Nigeria, with no rental options available.
The price increase by Starlink raises important questions about its sustainability in the Nigerian market, especially when compared to more affordable options available in Kenya. Conversely, the establishment of a digital economic zone in Nigeria presents a promising opportunity for growth and innovation, potentially attracting foreign investment and fostering a more competitive tech landscape. It will be crucial to monitor how these developments impact both consumers and businesses in the region.
