Starlink, the satellite internet service, has officially launched in Lesotho, marking a major step forward in the country’s digital transformation. The company secured a 10-year license to operate, aiming to expand internet access across Lesotho, especially targeting underserved and remote areas.
This strategic move supports Lesotho’s national agenda to increase digital connectivity and bridge the digital divide. Starlink’s satellite technology is expected to provide reliable and high-speed internet, which is critical for education, business, and communication in rural regions where traditional infrastructure is limited.
The government of Lesotho has welcomed the launch, emphasizing its importance for economic growth and social inclusion. This initiative is part of broader efforts across Africa to:
- Boost digital infrastructure
- Enhance the quality of life for citizens through technology
- Encourage further investment and innovation in digital services
The development aligns with the increasing demand for online services and connectivity in the region. Starlink’s presence in Lesotho also reflects a long-term commitment to supporting digital access and empowerment over the next decade.
