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.

Why does it have to be “profitable”??
