The founder of SpaceX now faces stiff competition from established players like MTN and Airtel in Nigeria’s booming telecommunications industry.

SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet constellation, created by Musk, provides service to 32 countries.
An argument can be made that Nigerians would have access to not only a fast network, but also low-latency broadband, which has been designed to handle a large amount of data quickly and efficiently.

As reported by Nairametrics, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has approved SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet constellation for use in the country.
The company’s team visited Nigeria in May of last year, which led to this licence.
The NCC states that the validity of an International Gateway licence is good for ten years, whereas an Internet Service Provider licence is good for five years. Each permit is valid beginning in May of 2022 and can be renewed once it has run its course.Jamb Result
