Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>MaySpaceX CEO Elon Musk announced the regulatory clearance in Africa via Twitter a few hours after tweeting that Starlink had been approved in the Philippines, the first country in Southeast Asia to grant it permission to provide services.<\/p>\n

Starlink\u2019s regulatory approvals mean the low Earth orbit network \u201cis now licensed on all seven continents,\u201d SpaceX\u2019s Twitter account added.<\/p>\n

Nigeria-based publication Nairametrics reported that the Nigerian Communications Commission confirmed it had licensed Starlink following Musk\u2019s tweet.<\/p>\n

According to the Nairametrics report, Starlink was licensed as an internet service provider (ISP), which is a category terrestrial telcos also fall into, and the license will be up for renewal in 10 years.<\/p>\n

Starlink has been working to secure regulatory approval in Nigeria for at least a year.<\/p>\n

NCC said in a news release last year that SpaceX executives had met with the regulator May 6, 2021, to discuss providing Starlink services. The Nigerian telecoms regulator said SpaceX sent a delegation to the country after holding discussions virtually over the previous several months.<\/p>\n

Mozambique\u2019s telecoms regulator INCM said in a Feb. 22 news release that it intended to deliver a license for Starlink services Feb. 23.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of Starlink\u2019s big bets is to provide ultra-fast broadband to the African Continent by the end of 2022, which will allow expansion to a greater number of people and places, with emphasis on rural areas and others not served until today,\u201d INCM said in the news release.<\/p>\n

Starlink\u2019s coverage map currently shows plans to start providing services to Africa \u2014 and the majority of regions where the network is currently unavailable \u2014 in 2023.<\/p>\n
