Starlink grows Kenya’s satellite internet users 10x in a year
- Less than a year after Starlink launched in Kenya, the number of users has multiplied more than tenfold
- Starlink's high speeds of over 100 Mbps have contributed to a growth in satellite internet use
- Satellite internet services are particularly attractive to customers not served by traditional broadband providers
The fast adoption of Starlink in Kenya, with its high-speed internet and ability to serve customers not served by traditional providers, indicates a growing demand for satellite internet services. This presents a significant opportunity for both Starlink and other satellite service providers in the market. However, the delayed launch of Safaricom's satellite service may give Starlink a competitive advantage in capturing the niche market of customers in remote areas.
