Message: [QUOTE="Shamiso, post: 83789, member: 160"] Amazon just scored permission to beam internet to Nigeria from space. The Nigerian Communications Commission granted Kuiper Systems LLC official access for its Project Kuiper fleet. This authorization allows the company to broadcast signals over the territory starting in 2026. That permit clears the way for over three thousand non-geostationary orbiters using Ka-band frequencies. These units will handle fixed and mobile connectivity along with earth stations in motion. The deal becomes active shortly and remains valid for a full seven-year term. Officials insist this approval aligns with global standards for managing space-based comms. It apparently demonstrates readiness for next-level tech solutions. Industry watchers feel this signals a willingness to let satellites service remote areas where fiber rarely goes. [/QUOTE]
