Uganda Grants Operating License to Starlink
President Yoweri Museveni announced that the Uganda Communications Commission signed an agreement with Starlink to provide satellite internet services. The move aims to address high costs and unreliability in the domestic market currently dominated by MTN and Airtel.
Uganda granted an operating license to Starlink to provide satellite internet services across the country. Starlink already operates in more than a dozen countries across Africa, including Somalia, as part of its regional expansion. The entry of the satellite provider introduces a new competitor to the East African internet market.
### License Agreement Signed President Yoweri Museveni confirmed the Uganda Communications Commission signed an operational license agreement with the SpaceX unit. Museveni stated that Starlink agreed to comply with national laws and regulatory requirements before starting service delivery.
