Amazon Leo satellite internet enters South African market
Amazon’s satellite venture, Amazon Leo, is entering South Africa’s market through a partnership with local internet firm Herotel, bypassing regulations requiring 30% Black ownership in license holders. This move contrasts with Starlink’s struggles to meet the same ownership threshold, which has delayed its entry into the region.
