SpaceX's Starlink internet service has launched in Somalia, expanding its global reach.
Somalia's government confirmed the issuance of an operating license to SpaceX after a two-and-a-half-year negotiation process.
The launch aims to improve internet access in a country with spotty coverage and high costs, bridging the digital divide.
Starlink's expansion in Somalia reflects its global ambitions and potential to reshape rural communities' access to education, commerce, and communication.
