Digital Dash by Afdtechtalk

Starlink is the satellite-based internet service from Elon Musk's SpaceX. It's designed to provide fast and reliable internet access to even the most remote areas of the world. And now, Nigeria has joined the growing list of countries where Starlink is available. Today we're talking about that and what it means for the future of telecommunications in the country and in West Africa by extension.

Starlink has the potential to bypass traditional infrastructure and reach areas where traditional internet providers can't. This could level the playing field and allow new entrants to the market to compete with established players, so it's clear that the arrival of Starlink in Nigeria is a big deal.
