Spacex’s Starlink Internet Service Available in Madagascar


Key Highlights
- Starlink has officially announced that its high-speed, low-latency internet service is now available in Madagascar.
Starlink, the satellite telecommunications company, has officially announced on its X page (formerly Twitter) that its high-speed, low-latency internet service is now commercially available in Madagascar.
The journey towards this milestone began in April 2024 when Tahina Razafindramalo, Madagascar’s Minister of Digital Development, Posts, and Telecommunications, revealed that Starlink had secured the necessary approvals from the Malagasy government. The company was in the final stages of setting up its infrastructure and completing all regulatory requirements to obtain a satellite operator license.
Starlink strategically scheduled the commercial launch for the third quarter of 2024 to expand its global internet coverage. This development will significantly enhance internet accessibility and connectivity in Madagascar.
The satellite telecommunications company has successfully obtained regulatory approval to offer its services in 13 African countries. This significant milestone paves the way for the company to expand its high-speed, low-latency internet offerings across the continent, aiming to enhance connectivity in underserved regions.
