Elon Musk has made a groundbreaking move by lowering the monthly subscription cost of Starlink internet service to KSh 1300, providing users with 50GB of data. This significant reduction aims to make high-speed satellite internet more affordable and accessible to residents in Kenya. Alongside the price cut, Musk announced that Starlink now accepts payments through M-Pesa, a popular mobile money service widely used across the country. This introduction of M-Pesa as a payment option is expected to simplify billing and enhance convenience for Kenyan subscribers.
The decision to lower subscription fees and introduce M-Pesa payments reflects Starlink’s commitment to expanding its user base in Kenya and other regions with limited internet connectivity options. By offering competitive pricing and accommodating local payment preferences, Starlink aims to revolutionize internet access in underserved areas, empowering individuals and businesses with reliable and high-speed connectivity. As the demand for internet services grows globally, particularly in emerging markets, initiatives like these are poised to bridge digital divides and stimulate economic development through enhanced connectivity.
