Starlink Jolts أخبار

Zimbabwe,Internet

Zimbabwean ISPs are slashing their prices in an effort to retain customers and fend off the US company’s entry.

terminals sold out in Zimbabwe’s capital of Harare, less than two months after receiving permission from authorities to operate in the Southern African nation.

Nigeria and Zimbabwe are the only two African nations where Starlink terminals have sold out, which means consumers there can’t place new orders for terminals because “the service is not available in the area”, according to Starlink. Demand for Starlink services in Zimbabwe has soared since the SpaceX-owned company received an operating permit in early September. Consumers are directly ordering the terminals from its website, bypassing a once-popular street market that resold the kits at exorbitant prices to consumers. The street market has collapsed.
