Sur son compte Twitter, Elon Musk has indicated that his high-speed satellite service, Starlink, is now authorized and available in Benin.

“Starlink is now authorized in Benin! ” announced the visionary behind groundbreaking companies like Tesla and SpaceX, expressing the progress and expansion of his ambitious project on the African continent.

Au Bénin, Starlink will boost the economy, strengthen online education, and support startups and businesses that depend on a reliable internet connection . In addition to Benin, Nigeria, Rwanda, Kenya, Zambia, Malawi, and Mozambique join a growing list of nations benefiting from this innovative technology.
