Safaricom can push for restrictions on satellite ISPs, says communications regulator
- Safaricom raised concerns about the licensing of independent satellite providers, including Starlink.
- CA will investigate and address Safaricom's concerns.
- Safaricom alleges security risks and potential loss of government control.
The concerns raised by Safaricom regarding the licensing of independent satellite providers are valid and should be thoroughly investigated by the Communications Authority of Kenya. Safaricom's dominance in the data market and potential threats posed by Starlink's expansion warrant careful consideration to ensure the continued growth and stability of the ICT sector in Kenya.
