This measure, decided by the Council of Ministers, will be in effect for a period of six months, as indicated in a press release from the presidency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A look back at the initial ban<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On March 20, Malian authorities decided to \u201cdismantle and ban Starlink terminals across the entire national territory.\u201d This ban was intended to limit the use of the satellite internet service offered by Starlink, the company founded by billionaire Elon Musk. Internet access via Starlink, provided by a network of satellites in low Earth orbit, makes it possible to connect remote regions or regions poorly served by traditional operators, such as those found in Mali.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Starlink kits: a solution for remote areas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Starlink kits, which mainly consist of a router, a receiving antenna and accessories, provide access to the internet even in remote areas. This service represents a potential solution to reduce the digital divide in Malian regions far from traditional telecommunications infrastructure. The decision to temporarily lift the ban could thus meet the growing demand for connectivity in these poorly covered areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The temporary lifting of the ban on Starlink kits in Mali marks a turning point in the management of internet access in remote areas of the country. By allowing the importation and marketing of these devices for a period of six months, the government could assess the impact of this technology on national digital development. However, this decision is part of a limited framework, and it remains to be seen whether it will be extended or reassessed in a context of balance between state control and the need for connectivity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Malian government has announced the lifting of the ban on importing and marketing Starlink kits, which allow access to the internet via satellite.
