American tech mogul Elon Musk has reacted positively to the news that Starlink is now providing Nairobi City Hall with internet connectivity with speeds ranging between 120 Mbps and 200 Mbps.
The Starlink system is set to enhance both redundancy during primary network outages and the handling of higher data loads.
In a post that has since captured widespread attention, Musk reacted by writing “Starlink in Nairobi!”
