Safaricom Seeks New Regulations for Starlink in Kenya
Aug 23, 2024, 02:37 PM
Safaricom, Kenya's largest telecommunications company, has requested the Communications Authority to reconsider issuing independent licenses to satellite service providers such as Elon Musk's Starlink. Safaricom suggests that these providers should operate through agreements with existing local licensees. This move comes amid discussions about Safaricom's dominance in the telecommunications sector. Starlink, which launched in Kenya in July 2023, has been granted an independent license, raising concerns for Safaricom. The request for tighter controls reflects Safaricom's strategic interests in maintaining its market position.
