Following its launch in Nigeria, Elon Musk’s satellite internet service Starlink will charge Nigerians $600 (N442,000) for the hardware setup.

The launch of the Internet service in Nigeria is coming months after it was approved on May 2022 by the Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC) to commence operation in Nigeria.

Investors King recalled that in May 2022, Musk confirmed that the high-speed internet, had received approval to begin operation in Nigeria, tweeting “Starlink approved by Nigeria and Mozambique”.

The NCC during the time of approval disclosed that the internet service was given two licenses to operate, which are the International Gateway Licence and Internet service provider license and will be trading as Starlink internet services Nigeria Limited.
