Why Starlink Deployment In Nigeria Is A Welcome Development by ZeroOneTribe: 10:32am On Feb 02, 2023 |
The issue is not network speed, it's about coverage. I live and work in a community just 12KM away from Port Harcourt. There is 24/7 power supply in this community, and they don't pay for light. Cost of house rent is really affordable, perfect place to free lance. BUT MTN, GLO and 9Mobile network here is 3G and you can't use it for anything serious. If not for Airtel, even though this place is perfect, I won't be here. For ISP who claim to be mobile, they concentrate their best coverage in only the metropolis and leave out a whole lot of people. When they say internet penetration in Nigeria is mere 38%, it's because of this. They go for they money always. There are Local governments, not just communities in Nigeria where you hardly get network. Though Airtel really tried in rural penetration, but you get mostly 3G network. The last time I travelled from PH to Jos, there were areas without network for over 50KM, I mean, the Big 4 were absent. This is why startlink is a game changer, so you can now make whatsapp calls in HD, skype or VoIP calls from even communities with the absense of the big 4. Do you know there are places in Nigeria, students travel over 100 km to do basic exam registration or just check their result. Starlink is mostly for areas like this, a whole community can be connected, you can open a business centre, setup internet telephone, lauch wireless transmission and connect the community to the internet without waiting for the big 4. |
