Shedding light on the introduction of Starlink, Mr Sekgororoane mentioned that it aligned with Botswana’s ambitions to position itself as a digitally advanced nation.
Botswana has taken a significant leap in its digital transformation with the launch of Starlink through I-Connect, an authorized seller of the satellite-based internet service.
The milestone event, which took place in Gaborone last week, signaled a new chapter in the country’s efforts to enhance connectivity, bridge the digital divide, and unlock economic opportunities. Speaking at the launch recently, Minister for State President Mr Moeti Mohwasa emphasised the crucial role of internet access in modern economies, particularly in education, healthcare, and public service delivery.
He acknowledged the longstanding challenges Botswana had faced, including limited infrastructure, high costs, and unstable connectivity, particularly in rural areas. With Starlink’s high-speed, low-latency satellite technology, these barriers could soon become a thing of the past.
