Starlink goes live in Eswatini months after receiving license
- Starlink officially launched in Eswatini, making it the 8th country in Africa to have access to the service.
- Starlink uses low earth orbit satellites to provide broadband internet to urban and remote areas.
- ESwatini has over 710,000 internet users out of a population of just over 1.2 million inhabitants.
The launch of Starlink in Eswatini is a significant development for the country's internet connectivity. However, the high cost of the service may limit its accessibility in a country with a high poverty rate. The regulatory pushback faced by Starlink in South Africa could also impact its expansion plans in the region.
