        But how much of the internet in Africa is actually served by Starlink?

        Africa is a massive continent with a wealth of countries with varying demographics, it’s no wonder that they have a 40% internet penetration rate compared to the world average 60%.

        I don’t think Starlink is going to change that.

            I hope it stays that way. Africa doesn’t need more greedy white billionaires leeching from them.

        It’s not just developing nations, even developed nations have areas people live that aren’t viable to run fibre connections to.
