Starlink unveils affordable plan following Safaricom’s speed upgrade in Kenya
- Starlink launches a $30.87 monthly residential plan in Kenya.
- Starlink introduces a Mini kit priced at $208.38, offering speeds up to 100 Mbps.
- Safaricom upgrades its fibre Internet speeds to compete with Starlink.
The competition between Starlink and Safaricom highlights the dynamic nature of the internet service market in Kenya. While Starlink's entry provides more options for consumers, it also pressures local ISPs to innovate and improve their services. This could lead to better internet access for underserved regions, but it raises questions about market regulation and the sustainability of such competition.
