Here's what you need to know about Elon Musk's Starlink internet service that has been launched in Kenya:
Starlink is a satellite internet service that is operated by SpaceX, Elon Musk's spacecraft corporation.
Starlink uses a constellation of low-Earth orbit satellites to provide high-speed, low-latency internet access to remote and underserved areas around the world.
Starlink has been approved to launch in Kenya, and is expected to begin service after Musk's announcement today.
Kenyans can pre-order the service with a deposit of $99.
The cost of the Starlink hardware kit is $599.
Starlink is expected to offer speeds of up to 100Mbps in Kenya
Starlink is seen as a potential game-changer for internet access in Kenya, where many people currently do not have access to reliable or affordable internet.
The service will initially be available in the cities of Nairobi, Kisumu, Mombasa, and Nakuru.
Starlink is expected to be more expensive than traditional internet providers in Kenya, but it is likely to be faster and more reliable.
Its arrival is likely to increase competition in the internet market, which could lead to lower prices and better service for consumers.
