Starlink, the satellite internet service by Elon Musk, has officially launched in Ghana, as costs of the services go public sparking outcry among some netizens with some alleged tax components.
The internet satellite service comes with the promise of high-speed, low-latency internet access. This new service has the potential to significantly transform how Ghanaians connect to the web, enabling faster communication, enhanced learning opportunities, and more efficient work processes.
However, it’s essential to consider the cost involved in accessing this cutting-edge technology.
To use Starlink in Ghana, customers will need to pay an initial fee that covers the cost of the necessary equipment, including the satellite dish and router.
Additionally, there will be a monthly subscription fee for the internet service itself. While the exact pricing may vary, this investment in Starlink could be a game-changer for those seeking reliable and fast internet, especially in areas where traditional broadband services are limited or unavailable.
