Starlink secures ISP license in Somalia
- Somalia's National Communications Authority has officially licensed Starlink to operate as an ISP.
- The initiative aims to enhance Internet connectivity in remote and underserved regions of Somalia.
- Minister of Communications and Technology Mohamed Adan Moalin emphasized the government's commitment to digital inclusion.
The licensing of Starlink in Somalia represents a significant opportunity for digital transformation in the country. However, the high cost of services poses a challenge that must be addressed to ensure equitable access for all citizens. Further discussions should focus on potential partnerships or subsidies to make Internet access more affordable.
