Good morning. Cell C, the South African mobile operator, is in discussions with satellite Internet service providers Starlink and Amazon Leo to resell their broadband services to customers and potentially offer direct-to-device connectivity. CEO Jorge Mendes confirmed the company is exploring this option, which could enable subscribers to access the Internet via satellite networks in addition to terrestrial networks like mobile towers.
This move could potentially extend coverage to areas where traditional infrastructure is costly to build. The strategy follows Herotel's recent distribution deal with Amazon.
