Satellite broadband is two steps backward. The future is fibre optics. Although the download speed is fast (as at 2010), the upload speed is pretty slow. I’ll stick to what telecom companies are offering for the time being.
leave it for us abeg.. If it will offer unlimited data for 70mb/s is still better than mtn, airtel and glo of 5.4mb/s speed at most

Invest where successful people invest in. While those yeye automobiles moved to Ghana, the ones who own the future of businesses chose Nigeria. The Nigerian market share is huge. Even twitter went to Ghana. The question is that how much of benefit is Twitter to the economic of the nation they are in? Those companies running to Ghana know that bigger companies will kill them in Nigeria. So, they are where they can make their tiny profit. That's all.
you sabi the real deal... Sense no go kill you

Very good for us that love bandwidth!

If this means we'll have a broadband faster and cheaper than one terabyte these telcos give us for a year at the rate of #100, 000.

But why would they give them the license to just:
“beam their signals till November 2026 over Nigerian territory.”

For renewal purpose. It's best practise to protect the interest of Nigeria.

No serious multinational is leaving Nigeria! The land will not bless those who curse it. Don't be naive. Some Nigerians are buying up these assets! An individual bought Shoprite, Tony Elumelu just bought Shell Assets, Olam even bought Dangote Flour and foreign owners of nestle, Heineken, etc have been buying up their company shares since last year further increasing their stake in their branches in Nigeria . The biggest brewer in the world bought up nearly all the right issue by International Breweries just few months ago and you are here lamenting as if the book of lamentation is written for you alone.

You still don't get why Elon is here? O ga o.
To make it simple for you, the total worth of Elon is over $100B but the whole GDP of Ghana is less than $50B while Nigerian GDP is around $500B, do the comparison and you will see why Facebook, Google, Microsoft and now SpaceX called Nigeria home.

This is a motley of the smartest people in the world and they chose Nigeria because they know the real deal.
While most of you were wasting time demarketing Nigeria online thinking you are doing Buhari, these guys have hired smart guys to do their market feasibility and they see huge opportunities for their wealth to grow only in Nigeria.
Nigeria is the place to be in Africa. It will do most of you like filmtrick when the next generation of billionaires will be the children of todays farmers let alone those already finding the value chain of these multibillion dollar investments coming to Nigeria.visit www.freestuffsng.com for latest freestuffs in Nigeria. God bless Nigeria.

it will still establish its headquarter and even starts it another African country than Nigeria. Who on his right frame of mind will establish his business on an unstable environment where terrorism kidnapping and banditry shielded by an incompetent government is on it's peak; have you forgot that the American government declared Nigeria a no safe place for their citizens?. Sorry to burst your bubble my dear...this one will also slip into the hands of another African country;the chance is hundred percent sure....
how many kidnapped cases have you heard from the southern Nigeria or did Elon told you he is going to the North or Imo state that Ipob terrorists, Boko haram, and Bandits have bastardized respectively... Space X head quarter will be in Lagos you got it..

Same way electricity was sabotaged.

Trust mtn and globacom to pull strings on this one. Someone will have the documents sit on their desk for years.

Adenuga will pull a dangote on the internet industry.

SpaceX is different because it is bigger can possibly acquire others. They'll also provide a better alternative like internet and satellite TV in one package or even pay as you go.

"Africa's entry into civilization".... grin grin

So we still de backward??



Emmaomotob:
I believe that this is a revolution taking place in our generation. Just as Henry Ford revolutionized the car making industry and Whatsapp brought cheap and unlimited calls (Video and Voice), SpaceX and Facebook are about to do the same for the internet. This would be a make quality education easily available in the poorest countries of the world and therefore speed Africa's entry into civilization.

5g for all loading.

The phone I'm buying this year must be 5g enabled.

To think Tecno is still selling 3g phones to uninformed Nigerians
That is because there are many areas that are still operating on Edge and 3G

The BIG Telcos will not allow SpaceX. But I am sure that Elon would have a plan B , should Nigeria frustrate him. Just as you have rightly noticed, it would go to another African country and Nigerian will cry blue murder.

The silver lining is this , the citizens would win. The BIG telcos would up their game in a bid to show that , SpaceX cannot match 5G. undecided

Elon musk is not desperate to come to nigeria or Africa..

He may not want to play corrupt bad politics we play here unlike the likes of mtn, glo Airtel and so on that understands African terrain and how to use money to shut the mouth of bastard African leaders.
