Starlink in Morocco: Imminent Arrival

American operator Starlink is preparing its official launch in Morocco. Elon Musk’s company has obtained approval from authorities to deploy its satellite network, promising complete coverage of the kingdom.

A decisive milestone has just been reached for the telecommunications market. Moroccans can now pre-order this satellite service by paying a symbolic amount of nine dollars, guaranteeing them a notification upon effective launch. From a legal standpoint, the company owned by Elon Musk, former adviser to Donald Trump, has formalized its establishment by officially registering the subsidiary "STARLINK INTERNET SERVICES MOROCCO" in the commercial court registry of Casablanca, under number 648909.

This arrival has received approval from the National Telecommunications Regulatory Agency (ANRT), a decision that aligns with the objectives of the national strategy "Morocco Digital 2030". By exploiting a constellation of low-orbit satellites, the American firm will provide ultra-high-speed connectivity, particularly suited to regions with limited terrestrial infrastructure. On its official website, the company confirms this imminence by listing Morocco among its next destinations and displaying the complete map of the country.

This vast network will cover all regions, including the Moroccan Sahara. The challenge is to catalyze the growth of key economic sectors such as tourism, e-commerce, and digital services. For experts, this large-scale project "demonstrates new American support for Morocco’s sovereignty over its Sahara," a geopolitical reading reinforced by Elon Musk’s recognized proximity to Washington’s decision-making circles.
