Starlink officially launches satellite internet in Niger, providing access to high-speed internet for remote areas and improving the country’s digital infrastructure

Starlink has officially launched its services in Niger, which is important for the country with low internet coverage — only 32 percent of the population has access to the network. The new service will provide high-speed internet to remote areas, covering up to 100 percent of the territory. The launch is the result of an agreement with the government, and while exact prices have not yet been disclosed, analysts suggest that they will be similar to other African markets. This move aims to improve the digital infrastructure and expand access to internet services in Niger.
