Elon Musk's satellite internet provider Starlink has introduced a rental plan for its expensive equipment as it seeks to expand its customer base in the Kenyan market.

In an update on Wednesday, the multinational said Kenyans can now rent the Starlink equipment at a monthly rate of Sh1,950 on top of the Sh1,300 charge for the company's 50 gigabytes (GB) data plan or the Sh6,500 monthly service charge for its unlimited internet package.
