DRC Grants Operating License to Starlink Amid Push for Nationwide Connectivity, Telecoms Regulator Says
"Starlink is now authorized to operate in the DRC as an internet service provider, following the completion of its administrative requirements," Congo Telecommunications Regulation Authority (ARPTC) pointed out in a statement.
The company will officially launch its services in the coming days, the ARPTC noted.
The DRC government aims to boost digital connectivity, especially in rural areas, by partnering with providers like Starlink to bring satellite internet to schools, health centers, and community facilities, the Telecommunications Minister's office said earlier.
