- LTA signs a one-year licensing agreement with Starlink.
- Starlink's official service is expected to launch in the first week of November.
- Liberian President Joseph Nyuma Boakai held a virtual meeting with Elon Musk regarding Starlink's launch.
The agreement between LTA and Starlink represents a significant step towards improving Internet access in Liberia, particularly in underserved areas. However, it is crucial for the LTA to ensure that local Internet providers are involved in the rollout to maximize economic benefits for the community and prevent monopolistic practices.
