Nigeria's runaway inflation impedes Starlink operations

Instead of focusing solely on direct ownership, Starlink could invest in initiatives that directly benefit black-owned businesses and communities.

Paratus Group announces its joint venture with Real Image and launches Paratus Eswatini.

The founder of Starlink and a South African-born billionaire, announced the plans on his X platform.

The company says the recognition underscores its commitment to providing innovative and reliable connectivity solutions.

The deal comes as satellite technology is gaining traction on the continent, with authorities agreeing to use it to advance Africa’s economic goals.

In today’s interconnected world, network outages have far-reaching consequences, cautions Paratus Group CTO Rolf Mendelsohn.

To overcome its connectivity challenges, Tantum IT chose Paratus South Africa to provide the solution.

Starsat’s closure will leave only one operator in the satellite TV space and 500000 subscribers high and dry.

Musk had meetings with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, Lesotho Prime Minister Same Matekane, and Namibian President Nangolo Mbumba.

Following a call by Safaricom for increased protection from satellite internet players, the country’s president believes their arrival will enrich the current market.

The company says the regulator's decision will impact 600 employees and disrupt its network of over 4,000 dealers and sales agents who rely on its services.

The telco stated yesterday that it has been approved as a Starlink reseller, which will allow it to expand its portfolio and deliver effective connectivity solutions.
