Museveni directs ICT ministry to fast-track licensing of Starlink satellite internet, sources say

According to ChimpReports, citing unnamed sources, President Museveni directed the Ministry of ICT, which supervises the Uganda Communications Commission, to facilitate Starlink's entry and grant it an operating licence after a recent meeting at State House Entebbe with Starlink executives. The sources said officials are drafting a licensing agreement and that talks have centred on a dispute over licence fees and classification, after UCC initially sought over $20 million for a national telecom operator licence.
