Starlink Prioritizes Liberia for High-Speed Internet Rollout

Monrovia – Starlink, the global broadband satellite internet provider, has announced that Liberia is their top priority for expanding their services. This move promises to bring unprecedented connectivity to even the most remote corners of the country, fostering competition and innovation in the telecommunications landscape.

On September 11, 2024, the full Board of Commissioners of the Liberia Telecommunications Authority (LTA) held a productive meeting with Starlink representatives to review the draft license for their operation. The draft license will now be forwarded to their Consul for final review and input. Once the final document is signed, Starlink will begin rolling out its services across Liberia.

The LTA chairperson Abdullah Kamara, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, “We are happy to have Starlink in Liberia. They made it clear that Liberia was a top priority.” The chairperson emphasized that Starlink has committed to adhering to the laws governing the telecommunications sector in Liberia.

Starlink’s entry into Liberia is poised to transform the country’s internet landscape thereby boosting several sectors including the Liberian economy by bridging the Digital Divide. In the provisional license, Starlink’s satellite technology will provide high-speed internet access to remote and underserved areas where traditional infrastructure is lacking. This will enable rural communities to connect with the rest of the world, access educational resources, and participate in the digital economy something that will lead to enhancing Education and other basic social services including advancing Healthcare.

With reliable internet access, schools in remote areas can offer online learning opportunities, access digital libraries, and connect with educational institutions nationwide. This will meaningfully improve the quality of education and open up new possibilities for students.

Furthermore, the LTA Provisional license will allow Starlink’s services to enable local entrepreneurs to reach global markets, attract investments, and create job opportunities, driving economic growth and development.

The collaboration between Starlink and the Liberia Telecommunication Authority marks a significant step towards achieving universal internet access in Liberia. The Acting Board of Commissioners’ innovative technology and commitment to the country’s development, Liberia is set to embark on a new era of connectivity and progress.
