What Starlink means for WhyAfrica
As Starlink takes Africa by storm, more and more African countries are signing up to Elon Musk’s superfast satellite internet company. To date, eight African countries have joined the Starlink network, with more ready to sign within the next year.
So, what does it mean for WhyAfrica and why are we super excited? Well, it means that we can travel more often to even more African countries and provide you with more on- the-ground, relevant information about the countries that we visit.
It also means we can travel to more project sites and more remote locations across Africa. Best of all is that we will be able to livestream our WhyAfrica Road Trips through Africa to all our WhyAfrica partners, members, sponsors and advertisers!
Remember, you can only access our livestream channel if you are a WhyAfrica partner, member, sponsor or advertiser. In the future, thanks to Starlink and new technology, you’ll be able to join us on a virtual WhyAfrica Road Trip and best of all, if you are a member, you might be able to join us virtually on our site visits, sit in on our interviews and even ask questions during our interviews. It’s much better than gaming.
What did Starlink mean for us on this year’s Road Trip? It made it possible to put together our newsletters and magazines even in the most remote locations on earth. Best of all is that we could do it while sitting in our office next to the campfire under the stars (an Elon’s satellites). Thanks STARLINK you’re changing the world.
