Airtel Africa teamed up with SpaceX to bring Starlink internet service to African customers. SpaceX already has permits in nine countries where Airtel works, and they want approval in five more countries soon. The companies plan to connect schools, health centers, and businesses in rural parts of Africa.
They aim to expand cell coverage through satellite connections. Both firms want more people across Africa to use digital services. Airtel Africa leader Sunil Taldar said they want to make lives better through investments and partnerships. He believes satellite internet helps everyone stay connected even in remote areas. Starlink leader Chad Gibbs called the deal important for helping more African people access the internet.
