#肯尼亚 #东非 #非洲内罗毕——美国科技巨头亚马逊已申请监管批准，拟在肯尼亚设立卫星地面站，此举可能加剧该国快速发展的卫星互联网市场的竞争。根据刊登于《肯尼亚公报》的一份通知，亚马逊的本地子公司亚马逊凯珀肯尼亚有限公司（Amazon Kuiper Kenya Limited）已向肯尼亚通信管理局提交了国际门户运营商许可证申请。该许可证将使该公司得以建立卫星地面站或陆地跨境网络，实现肯尼亚与其他国家之间的电信流量传输与接收。此次申请是亚马逊推进“柯伊伯计划”（Project Kuiper）卫星互联网服务部署的一部分，使其成为太空探索公司SpaceX运营的星链（Starlink）卫星宽带服务的直接竞争对手。关注我们的WhatsApp | LinkedIn获取最新新闻动态目前，星链通过低地球轨道（LEO）卫星网络提供高速、低延迟的互联网服务，在偏远地区家庭和企业用户以及寻求可靠宽带连接的城市用户中广受欢迎。该服务目前提供的互联网套餐月费从约6500肯尼亚先令起，已成为传统固定宽带和移动宽带提供商日益流行的替代选择。尽管发展迅速，星链在肯尼亚的市场份额仍相对较小，仅占全国互联网服务提供商市场约1%，远低于市场领导者萨法里康姆（Safaricom）所占据的约36%份额。中文导读在WhatsApp | LinkedIn上关注我们，获取最新头条新闻原文原文 / Original Text

Nairobi — American technology giant Amazon has applied for regulatory approval to establish a satellite earth station in Kenya, a move that could intensify competition in the country's fast-growing satellite internet market.According to a notice published in the Kenya Gazette, Amazon's local subsidiary, Amazon Kuiper Kenya Limited, has applied to the Communications Authority of Kenya for an International Gateway Operator licence.The licence would allow the company to establish satellite earth stations or terrestrial cross-border networks capable of transmitting and receiving telecommunications traffic between Kenya and other countries.The application forms part of Amazon's broader push to roll out its satellite internet service under Project Kuiper, positioning it as a direct competitor to Starlink, the satellite broadband service operated by SpaceX.Follow us on WhatsApp | LinkedIn for the latest headlinesStarlink currently offers high-speed, low-latency internet through a low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite network and has gained traction among households and businesses in remote areas as well as urban users seeking reliable broadband connectivity.The service currently offers internet packages starting from about Sh6,500 per month, making it an increasingly popular alternative to traditional fixed and mobile broadband providers.Despite its rapid growth, Starlink's market share remains relatively small, accounting for about one percent of Kenya's internet service provider market, compared to market leader Safaricom, which controls roughly 36 percent of the sector.
