Starlink becomes Kenya’s 7th largest ISP, eyes direct-to-mobile satellites
- Starlink has overtaken Dimension Data and Liquid Telecommunications Kenya to become the seventh-largest ISP in Kenya.
- The number of Starlink users increased from 16,786 to 19,146 in just three months.
- Starlink's market share in Kenya is currently at 1.1%, significantly lower than market leaders Safaricom and Jamii Telecommunications.
Starlink's rapid growth in Kenya highlights the potential for satellite internet services to disrupt traditional broadband markets, especially in underserved areas. However, the regulatory challenges and competitive landscape suggest that while Starlink is making strides, it must continue to innovate and adapt to maintain its momentum and achieve market leadership.
