Earlier this month, the Washington Post revealed that U.S. Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, had instructed the State Department to bolster the expansion of the Starlink initiative, aiming to counterbalance the growing influence of Chinese technology. On Thursday, ProPublica delved deeper into this matter with a comprehensive article outlining the grassroots implementation of these measures. According to confidential communications from the U.S. State Department and its embassies in four African nations—Gambia, Djibouti, Cameroon, and Lesotho—diplomats have been engaging with Starlink executives and foreign regulatory bodies, urging them to expedite the signing of licensing agreements with the satellite internet provider as a gesture of amicable relations with the United States.
