Starlink secures approval to boost Chad's digital connectivity with satellite Internet
- Chad approves licensing for Starlink to enhance Internet access.
- Only 12% of Chad's population had Internet access in 2022.
- Starlink's technology will cover regions lacking fibre optics.
The approval of Starlink's operations in Chad is a significant step towards improving digital access and fostering economic growth. However, the success of this initiative will heavily depend on the government's ability to navigate regulatory challenges and ensure effective implementation. This partnership could serve as a model for other nations facing similar connectivity issues.
