Starlink granted provisional infrastructure and service licences in Uganda; President Museveni oversees signing

According to The Independent (URN), Starlink secured provisional infrastructure and service licences to operate satellite internet in Uganda, in a deal whose signing President Museveni oversaw the week before publication. The Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) said the licence conditions require a local gateway through which Ugandan traffic must pass, local registration of devices and payment of taxes on a par with other operators.
