Stop giving money to Elon Musk and his projects.

Worse, it seems I'll have to pay him twice, at least initially, to get this solved.

I'll be living and working in Africa soon, from a van. Starlink is operational in only a few countries but in 2023 it'll be about half. To me it's a life-saver, and I suppose it is for Africa.

Yeah, regarding Musk, we are witnessing the birth of something the world hasn't seen before. Literally out of this world. Something people could righteously get nervous about.

A lot of east Africa has surprisingly good LTE coverage. I assume you know this. Of course, starlink will have higher speeds.

Anyway, here's an idea: livestreamed self drive safaris!

I heard about cheap LTE, in a few countries. But I thought it was mostly the city (no safari ;-). So I looked at the coverage maps in a few countries and coverage seems to be quite sparse.

I'll be working remotely, so I thought starlink would be a very worthwhile investment. Even though it's still booting up.

Btw, keep the tips coming, I'll need them :)

Africa is our future.
