The Liberia Telecommunications Authority (LTA) announced that Starlink, the renowned broadband satellite internet provider, is making Liberia a top priority in its African expansion. Starlink has applied for a one-year provisional license to provide internet services throughout the country, promising to shake up the telecommunications landscape with healthy competition.
Earlier today, a full LTA Board of Commissioners engaged in a productive meeting with Starlink representatives, where they reviewed the draft license. The document will now be forwarded to Starlink’s legal counsel for further review and final inputs. Once all necessary approvals are secured, the signing of the agreement will pave the way for Starlink to begin its rollout of services across Liberia.
This development could be a game-changer for Liberia’s connectivity, bringing high-speed internet access to both urban and rural areas. The entry of Starlink promises more reliable internet services and increased competition, which could ultimately benefit consumers by improving service quality and lowering costs.
Stay tuned for more updates on this groundbreaking move that could transform Liberia’s telecommunications industry.
