Compared to the existing competitors such as Safaricom, Telkom, Faiba, and Zuku who rely on fibre-optic technology, Starlink relies on satellites in space that orbit around the earth and then transmit signals to internet modems at home or offices.

Safaricom Plc Chief Executive Officer Peter Ndegwa on September 26 said that the company is in talks with Elon Musk’s Starlink and other satellite providers on potential future partnerships.
