Starlink launches in Botswana three months after securing licence
- Starlink, the satellite internet service owned by Elon Musk, is now available in Botswana after securing an operating license.
- The hardware will cost P4,820 ($363), shipping for P314 ($24) and P688 ($52) for the monthly subscription.
- Botswana is the sixth country in southern Africa to have Starlink after Zambia, eSwatini, Malawi, Mozambique and Madagascar.
The availability of Starlink in Botswana is a positive development for the country's internet connectivity. With the dominance of mobile network operators and other broadband providers, the introduction of Starlink will provide more options for consumers and potentially drive competition in the market.
