Africa: Jeff Bezos goes on the offensive against Starlink with a strategic project in Kenya

Amazon is seeking Kenyan regulatory approval to install its first satellite gateway in Africa, aiming to compete with Elon Musk's Starlink, which has been operational in Kenya since 2023. Kenya was chosen for its mature digital ecosystem and strategic location in East Africa. The project would connect Amazon's low-Earth orbit satellite constellation to terrestrial networks. The decision now awaits Kenyan regulatory approval.
