Ghana’s National Communications Authority (NCA) has completed all necessary administrative and licensing procedures, allowing Starlink to roll out its high-speed internet services across the nation by the end of August 2024.
According to local media reports on Thursday, Ghana is set to launch the Elon Musk’s Starlink internet service by the end of this month.
The reports added that before the latest approval in Ghana, there was a black market that allowed users to bypass local restrictions on Starlink and subscribe to its global roaming service.
The NCA has in a statement confirmed that the service will be managed by Space X Starlink GH LTD, a branch of Musk’s SpaceX.
Starlink’s technology relies on a constellation of low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, which enable faster internet speeds compared to traditional satellites, positioning Starlink as a strong competitor in the global internet market.
