Starlink Debuts in Botswana Just Months After Gaining Approval
- Starlink, the satellite internet service owned by Elon Musk, is now available in Botswana.
- Starlink received its operating license in May 2024 after a year of discussions with the Botswana Communications Regulatory Authority (BOCRA).
- Botswana is the sixth country in southern Africa to welcome Starlink, following Zambia, eSwatini, Malawi, Mozambique, and Madagascar.
The launch of Starlink in Botswana is a positive development for the country's internet connectivity. With the entry of Starlink, consumers will have access to satellite internet service, providing an alternative to the existing mobile network operators and broadband providers. This competition can lead to improved services and lower prices for internet users in Botswana.
